In a darkened classroom, the white cracked walls serve as a movie screen. We are in a remote mountain village in Georgia. The light from the projector breaks the darkness: the children's first cinematic experience is about to begin. Among the kids are Iman and Eva, two Muslim girls, for whom the experience becomes a turning point and inspires them to pick up a camera and start filming their daily lives. The girls are growing up in a valley infested by radicalism, where most people live in constant fear that their relatives will sacrifice their lives in the name of God.
Die georgische Filmemacherin Mari Gulbiani lernte Eva und Iman in einer Filmklasse im Pankissi-Tal kennen und begleitete sie und ihre Familien über ein Jahr mit der Kamera. Sie gab den jungen Protagonistinnen auch selbst die Kamera in die Hand, um sich gegenseitig von ihren Sorgen und Hoffnungen zu erzählen.
