Ketevan Vashagashvili / Georgia, Bulgaria, Germany / 2025 / 79 min
Nine months of pregnancy for $14,000. For Zhana, this is the only way to give her daughter a better life. In Tbilisi’s unregulated surrogacy market, Zhana rents out her body to survive, hiding the truth from her growing child. As her health deteriorates, she spirals deeper into a cycle of exploitation. Shot over several years, this intimate, fearless film captures a mother’s boundless love in a system willing to consume it.
