| Summary: | This film, which borders on a sociological study and/or ethnographic report, focuses on the lives of women in such closed and patriarchal communities as Azerbaijani villages in Georgia. Women are "invisible" here and experience double stigma: as minorities and as women. Girls seldom attend high school. Some have already been married off or abducted, others are engaged. It is considered improper for engaged girls to go to school. As to the outside world, it pays just as little attention to gender problems in Azerbaijani communities, as the latter is indifferent to the outside world. This film is part of the Gender Montage: Paradigms in Post Soviet Space film series.
