The film tells a strange story, in flashback, about a British Telegraph Company’s engineer named Hughes appearing in a distant Guria village. Falling in love with the beautiful Anna, the Englishman became the enemy of her brother, Bolshevik Nestor.

The old Anna told that story to a young composer who recorded the music: “My dear homeland, why are you weeping?…”

A different way of telling a story
While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
