Starring Grégoire Colin and Hayk Bakhryan, the feature debut by the French-Armenian filmmaker (who wrote the screenplay with novelist Emmanuelle Pagano) is set in the Caucasus in the present day. It revolves around Alain, an international auditor, who has arrived to appraise the airport of a small self-proclaimed republic in order to greenlight its eventual reopening. Through Edgar, a local boy running a makeshift business in the airport, Alain will put everything at risk to help this isolated territory to open up.
