The stage-director Nugzar Gachava revives Nodar Dumbadze’s world full of unique sorrow and humour. Tbilisi. An “Italian” – common yard in 1937. A Georgian-Armenian family. Vanichka is an Armenian man and his wife Aneta – is a Georgian woman. Aniko is their neighbor taking care of a small son alone. Repression suffers Aniko as well and she is sent to exile. Her last cry is to Vanichka, her neighbor, begging to take the son to her parents in Khoni.

The performance tells about the subsequent events as to what will happen in 12 years’ time, what kind of Mitusha will return to Tbilisi and what new adventure awaits the young man.
