What kind of ideological issues are typical for modern Georgia? This is the question that the film is trying to explore – a story of one conflict, played out in a small Georgian village. The subject of the dispute is strange, funny and sad, all at the same time – should the monument of Stalin be left in a nunnery yard? This question is tearing the village apart. Is it possible for these contradictory symbols to coexist?
