Vano is the son of a Georgian wine maker, but he lives in Moscow from early childhood, and therefore he has completely forgotten family traditions. When luck turns its back on him, and the hoodlums from the bank demand payment, Vano has to start making the wine in the bath of a rented apartment. Starting to press the grapes, he hears the voices of the ancestors and begins to relate to his work with all his heart. And the young wine begins to respond to him. Soon Vano realizes the wine is magical and it starts to affect his life.
