Oh, Heart Don't Be Afraid

Dachi is a young and lonely dreamer, a queer person from a very conservative and religious place - Lechkhumi, in the highland of Georgia, and Dachi dreams of leaving their hometown. together with the 84-year-old spell caster Vardo, who holds the knowledge of Georgian traditional magic, Dachi feels seen, cared for, and understood, and by learning her magic techniques, they aim to use the magic to escape the daily social oppression and to create a reality where they can be themself.
As Dachi and Vardo become very close, Vardo helps Dachi overcome pain and find space to explore who they are and who they want to be. Their bond becomes even stronger, as they share stories and practice magic. But Dachi still struggles to empower themselves and begins looking for ways to escape Lechkhumi.
