[2] The story follows young technologist Nikо Nizharadze as he starts working at a wine factory alongside his friend.
Nikо initially appears to lack confidence, assertiveness, and discipline, but he is honest and straightforward, traits that set him apart.
To meet production targets, the factory management insists on bottling not only high-quality wine but also immature, inferior Saperavi.
He struggles to maintain his dignity while standing firm against unethical practices at the factory and asserting himself in the face of Marina’s antics.
The film opens with a documentary-style prologue about traditional Georgian winemaking and is structured into chapters named after the days of the week, charting Nikо’s journey of growth and self-discovery.
