When Ioane complains how dense and lush was the grove he has just passed, he asks Sandro whether he had thrown a hairbrush there. This is the reference to Georgian folk tale "Tsikara" where a young boy, who has a bull named Tsikara, throws a hairbrush towards a raging boar and dense forest arises on that very spot helping him and his bull to escape the beast.
In the opening scene when Anna is in the toilet, tiles on the wall resemble a setting used and depicted on the poster of Grzeli nateli dgeebi (2013). Notably, both movies share the same production designer Kote Japaridze.
The movie Sandro and Sesili are watching on the VHS cassette stuck in a cassette-player is Udzinarta mze (1992).
The statement that 20% of Georgia's territory is occupied, as stated by narrator in the voiceover, can also be spotted on Sesili's canvas tote bag.
