In a Rotterdam gym, 70-plussers of all nationalities train together to stay fit. This is hard work, because their bodies are faltering and their world is getting smaller.

Is a country a shared idea? A common fantasy of its inhabitants? Merely a territory with a border around it, with a parliament, an anthem and a flag? Or does a country embody the sense of natural belonging, of a home?

Globalization has made the world smaller and has brought people closer; nowadays communities can even be  virtual. But as Kurds die for a country without a territory, Europe threatens to disintegrate, the President of the USA wants to build a wall at the Mexican border, and a record amount of refugees on the  move, the question "what is a country” is, paradoxically, more relevant than ever. 

This academic and topical question lies at the basis of a visual and poetic film, set in a small and relatively  unknown country: Abkhazia. Bringing together the stories of ordinary Abkhaz in a modern creation myth  provides us with a different view on (geo)political, ideological and economic issues worldwide.
