Etero has put all thoughts of marriage out of her head and, because she's a virgin, the 48-year-old shopkeeper finds herself at the centre of gossip in the small Georgian village where she lives. But, because she values her freedom as much as her pies, she couldn't care less. However, when Etero unexpecetedly falls in love with Murman the delivery man, she's faced with a difficult decision: does she want to pursue life in a relationship or continue to live on independently? Elene Naveriani's charmingly told story tells of an extraordinary love. Elene imbues the protagonist with a fascinating presence and sensuality, making her the driving force behind the entire film.
