A middle-aged, unemployed heroin-addict, Checkie, loiters on the Tbilisi street outside his son’s school, where he himself was once a promising student. His wife, meanwhile, struggles to pay the tuition and understand her husband’s lack of interest in the family’s survival—even as the bank repossesses their furniture. But when a group of policemen blackmails Checkie into entrapping the son of his wealthy friend, husband and wife are unified by the uncertainty of their deepening moral dilemma, and a series of worsening foul-ups, in Levan Koguashvili’s lightly humorous yet realistic drama about the fate of a generation left behind in Georgia’s post-Soviet era.

Action of the film takes place in the capital city of Georgia. The film leading character is Zuzu, a young successful businessman, owner and manager of Iberia Business Group. Zuzu has close relationship with advertising and modeling business representatives, he is a part of their circle and the darling of ladies. However, as it turns out, he is a knight and even a big adventurer for the sake of love.

Any civil war destroys spirituality. It truly is a tragedy, especially for a small country like Georgia. This film-mystery shows the situation in Georgia from 1992 to 2003 and is made using the stream of consciousness technique.
