Tbilisi (Georgia), 1992: la era soviética ha finalizado y Georgia debe arreglárselas por sí sola. La guerra civil está arrasando en la provincia de Abkhazia. Para Natia y Eka, de catorce años de edad, la infancia está a punto de acabarse. Eka está creciendo sin su padre, rebelándose contra su preocupada madre y su hermana mayor. Por otro lado, el padre de Natia, un borracho iracundo, tiene aterrorizada a toda la familia. Las dos amigas tampoco pueden hallar la paz fuera de la familia –ni en la escuela, ni en la calle, ni en la cola para el pan. El caos, la inseguridad y el miedo a lo que el futuro depara domina la vida cotidiana. Un día, un admirador de Nadia le entregará una pistola con una bala. Un poco más tarde, otro admirador la raptará.
The Soviet Union has collapsed. Civil and ethnic wars have broken out in Georgia, Azerbaijan, and Armenia, three republics in the Caucasus. The post-Soviet Caucasus have turned into one large conflict zone. Two radically different people with different ideals, problems, and goals are united by the conflict zone. Gogliko, a Tbilisi street boy, and Spartak, a Sukhumi sniper, are forced to solve problems of the street and problems of the state together. For one, the goal is to get back the money he lost gambling; for the other, it is to carry out a general's absurd military mission. In spite of it all, their paths cross and their lives are changed forever.
