A film director appears at a remote, gigantic dam which is only one part of a hydropower station that has been divided by a borderline after the conflict between Georgia and its separatist province Abkhazia. The director applies for a permit to see the other half of the station, though the opportunity turns into a never-ending torment of expectation. Stranded at the dam, she becomes close to the people whose lives had been destroyed by political turmoil. She listens to the secret stories revealing the real life around the border before an alternative opportunity for the crossing arises.
