Plot

Datho (Merab Ninidze) has been innocent in prison for many years. When he comes home nobody wants him. His angelic wife Elene (Anja Antonowicz) has fun with a fire-eater. The two children imagined the father as a hero, not as a sorrowful knight. But everything changes when Datho reveals he has the ability of weather modification. He can freeze his enemies in the bathtub or he calls for rain so that they remain stuck in the mud.
