Etero, a 48-year-old woman living in a small village in Georgia, has chosen to remain unmarried. She cherishes her freedom, as much as her cakes. Her choice to live alone is often the cause of gossip among her fellow villagers. Unexpectedly, she finds herself falling into a passion with a man and is suddenly faced with the decision of whether to pursue the traditional route of coupling or continue to lead a life of personal freedom. Etero must grapple with her newfound feelings and decide how to find her own path to happiness.

“The protagonist lives in a society with oppression, where you can't always be the person you want to be. Her surroundings don't allow her to flourish like she would like to. I felt that Etero has a contradiction in her, since she is very intelligent, very intuitive, like a “natural feminist”, but still surrenders to what the outside expects from her.” (Elene Naveriani)
