Beautiful Lika died during childbirth. She was only 18 years old. She had dreamed so much of becoming Giorgi’s mom…! Giorgi (9 years old): “I don’t even know what a mom is. I only know that I would hug her all day long! Don’t take off your jacket,” he asks the correspondent, “it’s cold for us. Outside is much warmer than at our home. When the sun is out during winter days, my grandmother and I often warm up outside! At home, we wear everything we have and huddle under a blanket! “I’m scared that either my grandmother or I will freeze at night. That’s why I’m afraid to sleep alone.”
They stand alone in this world: elderly and frail grandmother Elsa alongside 9-year-old Georgi. After the death of their mother, their father drowned his sorrows in alcohol, then contemplated suicide. However, another woman intervened, and he left for her!
