Sandro is a 40-year-old Tbilisi teacher. His family and friends want him to get married in order finally to “grow up”. By living his own life and his own love story, Sandro changes the world around him. The story is told in expressive images of today’s Georgia. All characters are given respect and dignity.
The jury considers the film to be a call for following one’s own way but with respect to others.
