Plot synopsis
Déni is the new owner of a small plot of land in an isolated valley in Georgia, bordering Chechnya, from which he has been exiled since childhood. He arrives there and plans to build a house that stands in stark contrast to local customs. A fantasy that revives his memories and those of his uprooted clan who nevertheless only dream of one thing: marrying him off!
