Nana (55) and Irina (55) were childhood friends. In their teenage years, they understood that there was something more than friendship between them. People around them got aware of this too and their lives became unbearable, which is why Irina left Nana and went abroad. Nana had stayed in Tbilisi. She was married and had two children. She had neglected all her friends and had dedicated her life to her family. Years later, Irina returns in Tbilisi – and the reason is Nana. Women meet at the summer house, where they spent their best years together.
