This beautiful and at the same time comical story could have happened only in Abkhazia, in a country where ancient customs are still preserved, in which guests are always received with a wide table and a full glass.

Sofichka returns to her native Abkhaz village in Georgia after twenty years of absence. Seeing again home and meeting with villagers take her to memory lane and all Sofichka’s life passes before her eyes: her wedding with Rufus, betrayal of the neighbour Nuri, difficult years of war, exile in Siberia. But in spite of everything, in spite of all the tough experiences, Sofichka continues to believe in people and in life, staying true to the memory of her husband who died young.

Bound by a marriage dictated by duty rather than love, Princess Selma and the peasant Narsou flee after the fall of the kingdom and find refuge in an old house on the edge of the forest. Narsou is willing to sacrifice everything for her love, while Selma clings to the ghost of lost power and refuses to accept her new reality. When Narsou decides to turn to magic, Selma must let go of the past and make a choice that will determine her fate.
