He lives with his son in one of the European cities and works as a cook together with other emigres in an old restaurant. Merab prepares the best meat dishes in the whole city. Residents specially come to the restaurant to try his company "lyulya-kebab". Merab often dreams about the house, the hometown of Ochamchire, the street on which he grew up. Dreams of the best childhood friend and neighbor Valo Kazanba, with whom they stole lemonade at weddings and dreamed that in their street there will be the most fun wedding in the city. Once a month, Merab visits the son of Irakli in prison. Irakly sits for hooliganism and in a year he will be released. The meetings of Merab with Irakli often end in a dispute.
