The film is a poetic look at a world caught between tradition and modernity, as it follows a family that has inherited the mission of taking care of a local healing water. Three sons are skeptical and only the young daughter Namme stays as the guardian of the family traditions.

The film was produced by Georgia’a Batumi Art-House Film Studio in coproduction with Lithuania’s Tremora. The film was supported by the Georgian National Film Center and the Lithuanian Film Centre. Paris-based Alpha Violet is handling the sales.
