A novella about the director’s mother, who comes to Abkhazia to erect a monument on the nearly abandoned grave of her Georgian father. Her half-brother and sister are forbidden to enter the country, as they left it as refugees after the 1992-1993 war between Georgia and Abkhazia, when 250,000 Georgians (over 60% of the population) had to leave their motherland. Guzella is visiting Georgia to meet her brother and sister, after knowing nothing about their fate for 18 years and finding them by chance on a social network. After that she comes to Abkhazia, making it possible to unite the family on the 75th anniversary of their father’s birth.
