One evening in 1935 by the order of chief party leader of Abkhazia, Nestor Lakoba, the entire ensemble is called to perform before Joseph Stalin.

Stalin watches the dances with pleasure and listens to the songs of the peoples of the Caucasus, drinks a lot, and merrily makes fun of others.

This delights Stalin, he praises the skillful dancer but suddenly becoming glum asks a strange question-statement: "Somewhere I have seen you ..." Sandro, pale with fear, finds a convincing excuse but then remembers!
