"Special Mention to the Prisoner of Society, by Rati Tsiteladze, Georgia. For telling the truth of all the characters, for the force of creating a story apparently simple, but deep and irrepressible a vital hardness. The director, with his effective cinematographic mastery, overcomes his limitation of material resources to reflect with completeness this complex history of life. The transgender protagonist is a prisoner of her body, of her parents, of society, of her own house, in a convulsive and threatening Georgia, in a context of risk for human rights and even more so for LGBTI rights, which appeals directly to us remind us that we are all prisoners of our prejudices and our ignorance."
