1992. Dina lives in a remote village high in the Georgian mountains where century old traditions rule day-to-day life. Her grandfather has arranged for her to marry, but when handsome Gegi returns from war, she falls in love with him and they elope. Four years later Dina is estranged from her family but lives happily with her husband and young child. Then Gegi is tragically killed. In traditional Svaneti culture a widow must marry the first man who asks for her hand, Girshel proposes and she must accept. Gegi’s family claims his child. So Dina must leave her home and little boy behind forever. She cannot forgive – until later that winter when Girshel saves her child’ s life. For the third time Dina must fight tradition but this time, together with Girshel, she takes her child back.
