The film was selected as the Georgian entry for the Best Foreign Language Oscar at the 85th Academy Awards, but it did not make the final list.

Production

Writer and director Rusudan Chkonia was inspired to write the film after meeting a woman who had been dragged through a humiliating and somewhat questionable beauty contest and the stories she shared. Early drafts of the screenplay had different lead protagonists before she settled on Gvantsa as the pivotal character as she was the most rebellious in nature of the women.
