Pirveli Mertskhali plot

In 1900 Georgia, no one has ever seen football. When Khvicha first sees it, he forms a team, 'First Swallow', and starts hitting the ball. They win everything and are looking for a new challenge. Because the village is near a port, the first international match against England will soon come: the sailors of a British ship. The boys do everything they can to beat those foreigners, but their wives don't like it and feel discriminated against, because the ball game has taken first place and now comes before them and the work.
