Early nineties, in Tbilisi, the capital of the newly independent Georgia after the collapse of the Soviet Union. The country is facing violence, war on the Black Sea coast (Abkhazia) and vigilante justice that plague society. But for Eka and Natia, fourteen years old inseparable friends, life just unfolds; in the street, at school, with friends or the elder sister. Eka is growing up without her father,

rebelling against her concerned mother and her older sister. And Natia’s father, an alcoholic, terrorises the entire family. Although they are already dealing with men’s dominance, early marriage and disillusioned love, for these two girls in bloom life just goes on.
