After his father abandons him to become an Orthodox monk, Sandro struggles to reconcile his duty to God and his awakening sexuality, which manifests in uncontrollable ways and leads him to questionable behavior, as he searches for meaning and belonging in the turbulent society of post-Soviet Georgia.

ಸಂಪ್ರದಾಯಬದ್ಧ ಸನ್ಯಾಸಿ ಆಗುವ ಸಲುವಾಗಿ ತನ್ನ ತಂದೆ ತನ್ನನ್ನು ತೊರೆದ ನಂತರ ಸಾಂಡ್ರೊ ತಳಮಳಕ್ಕೆ ಒಳಗಾಗುತ್ತಾನೆ. ದೇವರಿಗೆ ಸಲ್ಲಿಸಬೇಕಾದ ಸೇವೆ ಹಾಗೂ ಜಾಗೃತ ಲೈಂಗಿಕತೆಯನ್ನು ಸಮತೋಲನ ಮಾಡುವುದು ಹೇಗೆ ಎಂದು ಚಿಂತಿಸುತ್ತಾನೆ. ಇದು ಅನಿಯಂತ್ರಿತವಾಗಿ ಪ್ರಕಟವಾಗುತ್ತಿರುವುದರಿಂದ ಅವನ ನಡವಳಿಕೆಯೇ ಪ್ರಶ್ನಾರ್ಹವಾಗುತ್ತದೆ. ಸೋವಿಯತ್‌ ಜಾರ್ಜಿಯಾದ ಪ್ರಕ್ಷುಬ್ಧ ಸಮಾಜದಲ್ಲಿ ಇದರ ಅರ್ಥವನ್ನು ಸಾಂಡ್ರೋ ಹುಡುಕಲಾರಂಭಿಸುತ್ತಾನೆ.
