Romantic affection of a 17 year old Kurdish boy takes a dark turn, as he wanders through ghetto of Tbilisi with his drug-dealer friend, discovering the bittersweet taste of life.

Misha, an idealist dreamer suffering from severe epilepsy, collects abandoned memories of lost ones. He believes “Love” can make miracles. In the only tavern of the abandoned town, which is aside by the Zone, other fellow smugglers mock Misha. However, Eva, a beautiful young woman with a maternal nature who works at the tavern, has a great admiration for Misha’s innocence. She seeks to enter the Zone with Misha in the hope to find her missing son Gabriel despite she has been told to accept the fact that he is gone forever. There are some rumours that dead people appeared alive in the Zone if they have been truly loved and missed.
