Sports photographer Lisa disappears without explanation, leaving a letter asking not to be searched for. Her last traces lead to remote Georgian villages where she was photographing rural football fields. Her father Irakli refuses to accept the silence she leaves behind and begins a journey to find her. Joined by Levani, Lisa’s enigmatic closest friend, he travels across the countryside, passing through quiet villages and meeting strangers and children playing football. They uncover only fleeting signs of Lisa’s presence, each more elusive than the last, until a mysterious encounter offers one fragile clue and renewed hope for the future ahead.

ಕ್ರೀಡಾ ಛಾಯಾಗ್ರಾಹಕಿ ಲಿಸಾ, ತನ್ನನ್ನು ಹುಡುಕಬೇಡಿ ಎಂದು ಪತ್ರ ಬರೆದಿಟ್ಟು ಯಾವುದೇ ಕಾರಣ ನೀಡದೆ ನಾಪತ್ತೆಯಾಗುತ್ತಾಳೆ. ಅವಳ ಕೊನೆಯ ಕುರುಹುಗಳು, ಆಕೆ ಗ್ರಾಮೀಣ ಜಾರ್ಜಿಯಾದಲ್ಲಿ ಛಾಯಾಗ್ರಹಣ ಮಾಡುತ್ತಿದ್ದ ಫುಟ್ಬಾಲ್ ಮೈದಾನಗಳವರೆಗೆ ಕರೆದೊಯ್ಯುತ್ತವೆ. ಆಕೆಯು ಹೊರಟು ಹೋದ ನಂತರ ಉಳಿದ ಮೌನವನ್ನು ಒಪ್ಪಿಕೊಳ್ಳಲು ನಿರಾಕರಿಸುವ ತಂದೆ ಇರಾಕ್ಲಿ, ಲಿಸಾಳ ಅತ್ಯಾಪ್ತ ಹಾಗೂ ನಿಗೂಢ ಸ್ವಭಾವದ ಸ್ನೇಹಿತ ಲೆವಾನಿಯೊಂದಿಗೆ ಅವಳನ್ನು ಹುಡುಕಲು ಹೊರಡುತ್ತಾನೆ. ಗ್ರಾಮಾಂತರ ಪ್ರದೇಶಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಸಂಚರಿಸುತ್ತಾ, ನಿಶ್ಶಬ್ದ ಹಳ್ಳಿಗಳನ್ನು ದಾಟಿ, ಅಪರಿಚಿತರನ್ನೂ ಫುಟ್ಬಾಲ್ ಆಡುತ್ತಿರುವ ಮಕ್ಕಳನ್ನೂ ಭೇಟಿಯಾಗುತ್ತಾ ಅವರು ಸಾಗುತ್ತಾರೆ. ಅವರ ಕೈಗೆ ಸಿಗುವುದು ಲಿಸಾ ಇದ್ದಿರಬಹುದಾದ ಕ್ಷಣಿಕವೆನಿಸುವ ಹೆಜ್ಜೆಗುರುತುಗಳು ಮಾತ್ರ ಕೊನೆಗೆ, ಒಂದು ಗುಟ್ಟಾದ ಭೇಟಿಯು ಮಹತ್ವದ ಸುಳಿವನ್ನು ನೀಡುತ್ತದೆ; ಭವಿಷ್ಯದ ಹಂಬಲದ ಕನಸನ್ನು ಹುಟ್ಟಿಸುತ್ತದೆ.
