Synopsis by Clarke Fountain

At various times in the recent past, the nation of Georgia has been on the brink of civil war, and limited hostilities have occasionally broken out, as that country attempts to cope with the demise of the old soviet system. In this movie, Nika (George Nkashidze), a high-school gym teacher, is forced to be idle because everyone expects a civil war to break out at any time. Tempers are growing short, and military people are out everywhere training for the anticipated event. Meanwhile Nika decides to leave his ballet-teacher wife (Marika Giogobiani). She has an insatiable desire for sex, and prefers to copulate in positions that take full advantage of his (and her) acrobatic abilities.
