This is a story of a day in the life of a small village in the mountains, with all its difficulties, joy, amenities and beauties, from dawn to late at night. The echo of collapse of the soviet rule, the civil war and the building a new life reached these places, where in the cold and harsh winter days people warm their homes with the fire of kindness, hope and love. And the long winter is over – it will be spring tomorrow!
