Two women, one a Stalin devotee and the other a vehement anti-Stalinist, are separated by generations but united by the shared loss of their fathers to war. They grapple with the contested legacy of their village of Gori, the Georgian birthplace of Joseph Stalin, in this duel over historical legacy, memory and hagiography.
