Etero, a 48-year-old woman living in a small village in Georgia, never wanted a husband. She cherishes her freedom as much as her cakes. But her choice to live alone is the cause of much gossip among her fellow villagers. Unexpectedly, she finds herself passionately falling for a man, and is suddenly faced with the decision to pursue a relationship or continue a life of independence. Etero must grapple with her feelings and decide how to find her own path to happiness.

Elene Naveriani's tenderly whimsical film premiered at the Quinzaine des cinéastes at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival and won the main prize at the Sarajevo Film Festival. The film's great revelation, lead actress Eka Chavleishvili, was also honored there for her role as the down-to-earth Etero, who discovers the magic of romantic love and her own sensual self-determination.
