Georgia has long been oriented towards the West and was undergoing an EU application process when new pro-Russian bills, including an anti-LGBT law that undermines basic human rights, were passed. The UN warns that this law could encourage hate speech, lead to more incidents of violence and reinforce stigmatization. Ultimately, many from the LGBT community may have to move abroad to be who they want to be.

Diagnosed with schizophrenia, she is forced to trust the eyes and ears of others instead of her own. She is herself, connected to the voices she hears and the things she sees, which are not real, but are part of her reality. A reality she doesn’t feel that the people and doctors around her are trying to understand. Like everyone else, Frederikke has interests, rewarding relationships, dreams and hopes about the future, while the challenges that come with this menthal disorder are very real and certainly not easy to live with.
