Zaza should have been married by now. He is a 31-year-old bachelor, and Georgian tradition requires that he choose a young and beautiful bride from a good family, preferably rich, standing in high esteem within the community. But Zaza doesn't want to get married, at least not with the prospective brides his worried parents try to set him up with. Why? Because his heart belongs to a woman whose identity he chooses not to reveal to his parents. Will Zaza follow his heart or succumb to family pressures and tradition's requirements?
