For eighty years Eva spent her life in a Georgian mountain village.
There she married Georgiy the shepherd, who soon died, possibly murdered.
After this she married Spyridon out of compassion for his lonesome, gloomy lost soul.
Most of the villagers move to the city where living is simpler and easier and life is always seething.
But the boy remains with his grandmother who believes that the village where their ancestors lived will be reborn.
