In the Georgian city of Kutaisi, a local women’s football team constitutes the heart of a group of female and non-binary queer people, who get together regularly to hang out, to party, to hug each other, and to discuss existential issues. Their gatherings provide a cozy, safe space for these young people in a society that’s not known for embracing its LGBTQ+ community. Discrimination, exclusion, and violence are part of the daily reality for these sports enthusiasts and their friends, whether on the streets or, in some cases, within the family. When they’re together, they find the love, warmth, and safety they need to fully be themselves.

Однажды летним днем в древнем магическом городе Кутаиси сталкиваются аптекарша Лиза и футболист Георгий. Они встречаются еще раз — на сей раз вечером — и, моментально влюбившись, договариваются о новом свидании, так и не узнав имен друг друга. По дороге домой четыре вестника — саженец, камера наблюдения, ветер и водосточный желоб — безуспешно пытаются предупредить Лизу о сглазе. Наутро Георгий и Лиза просыпаются в новых телах, потеряв все знания: он — о футболе, она — о медицине. Не узнав друг друга в кафе, где они собирались встретиться, пара нанимается туда работать, надеясь увидеть друг друга вновь.
