In a remote village in Tsalka, Republic of Georgia—where financial and existential insecurity too often lead to migration—a withdrawn 15-year-old girl tries to get closer to her older brother. Da-Dzma quietly captures the girl’s state of depression, her sense of being let down by her father and brother—both of whom seem unable to express themselves—and her feelings of abandonment when her brother decides to escape the winter in search of work abroad.
