Filmmaker Salomé Alexi and her 96-year-old mother are making a documentary about her grandmother, the first Georgian filmmaker Nutsa Gogoberidze. The women try to recreate fragments of the director's tragic life: her first films Buba and Uzhmuri were banned and destroyed, and Nutsa herself was exiled to Siberia. After her return from exile, she never spoke of her films again. In this autobiographical documentary, three generations of women reveal not only their family's painful past, but also the history of Georgia, which is full of film, dance and poetry.
