In a small forgotten village up the snowy mountains of Georgia, the arrival of a foreign woman disturbs the peace.
Israeli Lawyer Marina seems to have escaped her suffocating traditional Georgian roots. Now she comes back to Georgia, representing Nino, who left Georgia 11 years ago, leaving her son behind and now wants him back.
Determined to bring the boy back to his mother, Marina reaches Dato, Nino’s brother and the child’s caretaker. Despite his hostility and great anger for his abandoning sister, he agrees to help.
The more time they spend together, the two strangers share a journey that will change their perspective on life.
