action
The film is set in Tbilisi in 1992. A civil war is raging in Georgia. The two 14-year-old girls Natia and Eka face an uncertain future. Eka and Natia try to cope with this situation and, for example, rebel against their class teacher. Eka's father is in prison for murder, but - unlike the rest of the family - she does not visit him there. Natia's father is a drinker and her parents are always fighting. During this time, Natia receives a pistol from her admirer Lado, which she gives to her friend Eka, who is constantly suffering from attacks by boys from the neighborhood. Instead of using this weapon against her tormentors, however, Eka defends one of the boys with this weapon when he is beaten by others. When the young Natia is to be forced to marry, she receives the weapon back from Eka.
