1990s in Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia, which had just gained independence after seven decades of Soviet rule, 14-year-old Eka and Natia are growing up. Eka, whose father is absent, lives with her mother in a book-laden apartment, and has to deal with two suitors - a romantic and a bully, who have no interest in war and politics. Nana Ekvtimishvili, together with Simon Gross, draws an autobiographical story about female adolescence that takes place in a male militaristic atmosphere on a national and personal level. The episodic plot structure, the sensitivity, the impressive mastery of the cinematic medium and the wonderful acting of the two actresses make the film a great cinematic experience.
