Tskaltubo, once a famous Soviet spa town, has been transformed into the largest refugee camp in Georgia after the war in Abkhazia. Three decades later, the government is trying to restore its former glory, moving most of the displaced families to new apartment blocks on the outskirts of the city. The film follows the last residents of a sanatorium. Gia stays for her cats, Nunu for the plants and the fragile remnants of nature she cares for. In small daily rituals, they have created not only a home, but also a family - united by memories, resilience and the hope of one day returning to Abkhazia. For them, leaving would mean severing their last connection to the idea of home.
