Helen is 25 years old. After finishing university in New York, she returns to Tbilisi, her hometown. Everything seems foreign here, but Helen tries to find her place. Helen tries not only to find her place in Tbilisi - once a familiar environment for her - but also to find herself and find the keys that fit the locks of the main existential questions of life. Her encounter with film director Gabo is the start of an adventure that takes us into the minds and souls of a man and a woman, an old and a young soul.
