Sandro goes back to her native Ossetia for the funeral of her father and is immediately immersed in the chaos of the ceremony. When she sets foot on the fatherland again, she feels more alienation than a sense of homecoming. She and her brother Geor can feel the crushing weight of an unvoiced truth: Sandro wants to leave forever.
