    • "Her uniqueness could not be tolerated by the others“.

      Chnchik, a young girl from a remote village in the Lesser Caucasus, grows up with her parents in the middle of an untouched idyllic nature, far away from modern civilization. A slight physical handicap makes her the object of ridicule to the village population, which one day culminates in an attempted rape. At the end of the summer and a short love affair, her pregnancy is discovered and the traditionally minded population forces Chnchik’s father to commit a cruel act to eliminate the “dishonor” of the village.
