After a long break from acting, a famous Georgian actor attends an audition for a young director’s first film. He is surprised and annoyed when she offers him an unusual supporting role instead of the heroic characters he usually plays. He dismisses her idea as unrealistic and foolish. However, as he spends more time with the character, he becomes increasingly interested. Without realising it, he begins to change and slowly becomes the very character he once refused to play. Before long, he finds himself deeply drawn into the strange and unfamiliar role.
