Fasha and Gunesh look like each other. They move like each other. Fasha is a father and is responsible for hundreds of sheep, Gunesh - the elder daughter takes care of twin lambs. Fasha is responsible for Gunesh as well. He gave her a name that means the sun. He now wants to give her most precious thing - independence too.
Azeri ethnic minority in Georgia leads traditional nomadic way of life following sheep in mountains. Most of them - especially women and kids can’t speak Georgian (state) language as they leave school early and get married before turning 18. Fasha desperately wants Gunesh to study and to have a profession.
He will do anything to achieve this even if it takes his traditional way of life away from him. Before this happens as the fog swallows sheep and cows up in mountains 9 years old Gunesh remembers all the words she knows in Georgian including a notebook, a teacher and a school. That’s what she dreams about - becoming a school teacher and to teaching kids in her village how to read and write.
