9-Month Contract

The premise is shattering enough: A mother in Georgia becomes a surrogate to provide for her young daughter. Yet filmmaker Ketevan Vashagashvili’s intimate portrait derives its strength from the perceptive ways she captures the relationship between the two women. What starts as a means to make money evolves into a personal crisis, challenging the limits of familial devotion. This is an unflinching yet tender exploration of resilience and love through unimaginable circumstances.
