Susa (2010) is a Georgian drama film that serves as a stark, neorealist portrait of life in post-Soviet Georgia. It was the directorial debut of Rusudan Pirveli, who also co-produced and co-edited the picture. The film made its mark on the international film festival circuit in 2010 for its unflinching, authentic look at poverty and childhood, and it remains a significant, if under-seen, work of modern Eastern European cinema.

The film follows (played by Avtandil Tetradze), a 12-year-old boy living on the impoverished outskirts of a Georgian city near Tbilisi. Instead of attending school, Susa is forced into early labor. He works alongside his mother (Ekaterine Kobakhidze) in an illegal, underground distillery that manufactures bootleg vodka.
