The film is based on one chapter from Fazil Iskander`s epic Sandro from the Village of Chegem. It tells a story about one feast of Josef Stalin and his closest entourage. Sandro from the village of Chegem appeared as an Abkhaz folk dancing performer at this feast. This routine performance turned into a nightmare after he returned home as the purges of artists who attended the feast were about to begin. The year was 1935…

A dance troupe from the autonomous region of Abkhazia in western Georgia perform for Stalin, Lavrentiy Beria, Abkhaz leader Nestor Lakoba, and other high-ranking party officials in the Black Sea coastal town of Gagra.
