Natasha, an opera singer, leaves behind her husband and daughter in Russia to join Rafael, the Minister for Sport of Abkhazia, a territory within Georgia currently recognised by five states. Set in a decrepit seaside town on the Black Sea coast, this documentary comedy, as affectionate as it is ironic, intertwines the complexity of a love story with the sleepiness of an isolated state.

This film challenges how to live together, focussing on a Russian artist and the Abhkazian Minister for Sport. Their relationship mirrors local social and political tensions. Involved in reconstructing Abhkazia and their love, Natasha and Rafael open trails for an intercultural dialogue.
