In Georgia, Ushguli mountain customs dictate that in the absence of a son, the family land must be bequeathed to a male relative who can carry on the family name.

Life follows its routines in a small Georgian village during the festive days of Christmas and the New Year. Nata and Dato's family appears harmonious by local standards, but beneath the surface lies turmoil. After enduring yet another violent incident at the hands of her husband, Nata decides to leave, only to face unexpected opposition from village women who pressure her to maintain the façade of normality. This intimate portrait reveals her quiet struggle for dignity against deeply ingrained societal expectations.
