Herbert is bored out of his mind working at the German embassy in Georgia, but a chance meeting with Sashka, a young pickpocket, sparks a change in him; a passion for life. Gradually they become close friends and Herbert practically adopts Sashka, discovering that he is in fact a girl. But sooner or later, people (us included) begin to wonder about the nature of this relationship, and the accusations begin... Heartbreaking, inconclusive, and staggering in its significance, this magnificent and powerful film challenges you to explore your own judgements.
