How the Room Felt

In Kutaisi, western Georgia, the local women's football team captured the hearts of a group of women and non-binary people, who meet regularly to celebrate, experience moments of warmth and love, and share personal experiences. Discrimination, exclusion, and violence are part of their daily reality, and the meetings are a safe and intimate space for those who the local community refuses to accept. They share an apartment, their love for football, and the knowledge that beyond the threshold, everything is different. In this haven, they manage to realize their non-binary choices, create an alternative intimacy to the family they left behind, and dream.
