Young Ruslan rows for a team coached by his father Ali, who places many demands upon his son and is continually dissatisfied by his performance. But when tragedy strikes, his father is overcome with emotions he doesn’t know how to deal with. Debut director Asif Rustamov treats the heavy topic with remarkable subtlety and discretion, emphasizing the characters’ carefully elaborated psychology.

Architect David Mikeladze is wanted by the Soviet Security Committee for arrest. He manages to move to Turkey and starts a new life there, creating a second family. After Georgia gains independence, David Mikeladze returns to his homeland and dies there, as his family was told, of a heart attack. Years later, his son arrives in Georgia, finds his half-brother, and learns the true cause of his father's death.
