DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND THAT I'M DOING ALL OF THIS TO SAVE THIS WINE!

Where's Issei?

He'll be back tomorrow.

Had enough of me?

He had something to do.

And leaves you alone with a man like me?

Maybe you're the one left alone with a girl like me.

Okay.

So, let's taste some wines?

Come on.

So, which one do we start with?

- This one? - Wait. Let's first set the mood.

Janis Joplin.

Great.

- Music, alcohol, pretty French girl… - Stop messing around. Listen.

You know she hated her hometown?

She ran away as soon as she could to California to change the world.

When I listen to it…

I think of a hurricane that sweeps everything away.

Time, time

Smell it.

The living's easy

At first, the notes sound dissonant,

like there's no unity.

It's made from three grape varieties.

It's all over the place.

But in the mouth…

Cotton's high

It explodes.

Disorder becomes harmony.

Your daddy's rich…

The three grapes blend into one.

Now, close your eyes.

…so good-looking, baby

Close your eyes.

Take a sip.

No, no, no, no Don't you cry

Don't you cry…

Can you still hear the music?

Wine is like music.

It connects you to your emotions.

It repairs wounds.

"Clos Venturi."

Italian?

Corsica.

A small vineyard in the mountains.

Wonderful.

Another one.

Who's that?

Hermitage, Jean-Louis Chave, 2009.

Linden…

honeysuckle…

I'm in a hammock…

at home.

It's evening.

There's a gentle breeze.

It's rocking me to sleep…

My boyfriend is with me.

We're about to go for a drink, but not right now.

Don't talk about your boyfriend.

It ruins everything.

Your turn.

I'm on a sailboat.

Light is streaming through the curtains of the cabin.

We've just made love.

Keep going.

You're going back to France soon.

You're crying. You're lost.

I want you to stay.

No.

I will tell them to serve you dinner.

It's Tamar.

Is Issei there?

He's in bed.

Already? Is he okay?

He was very tired.

Are you still at Davit's place?

Yes.

Well, then I wish you a very nice evening.

Honoka? Honoka!

Honoka! Honoka!

- Daddy! - Help me! Help me!

Help me…

Hold it tight, okay?

And this one as well.

I didn't think you'd actually make it.

And now…

I have to keep my promise.

Do you know it?

No.

Tell me, what do you see?

A little child…

on his own…

It's winter.

It's cold.

He's lost.

No, he's not lost.

He's angry.

You know nothing about me.

It's true.

You are not at all who I expected.

It's sad your family doesn't know who you really are…

They don't care.

Tamar is not your father.

She was taught to hate you by him, but it's not her fault.

Just like it's not your fault your mother died.

It's beautiful.

And I know just one wine that matches it.

Yes.

Where were you? I tried to call you.

I'll tell you later.

Okay, Davit says he wants to come over and have a glass of wine.

Camille asks if Davit can come over and taste your wine.

Give me the keys.

- You can go as well. - You won't need me today?

- I don't. Take the day off. - Okay. As you like.

I shouldn't have come.

Everything will be fine.

Yeah, sure.

Nothing's changed.

It still smells like shit.

I didn't come armed.

Sit, please, Davit.

Are you gonna join us, or what?

The last time I saw you…

you were on a tricycle.

You've aged too.

Your hair is gray.

Let's drink.

'89. The year you were born.

The year I was born.

The year I was born and Mom died.

You want us to talk? I'm here.

Okay.

Hey.

Thank you.

Are you okay?

Today they are happy.

Tomorrow it won't be so easy.

You know what I love about you?

What?

That you're fun.

Come on, Issei. We saved the wine.

Is something wrong?

Do you wanna go for a walk?

How old were you?

Three years old.

I think it was on Okinawa Island.

When I was three…

I remember the Kobe earthquake.

It woke me up in the middle of the night.

I was terrified. I thought the house was going to fall on me.

My mother, she came to get me,

she took me to the garden, under the stars

and sang me a song to calm me down.

My mom…

she would've let the roof fall on me.

Except my mother swears it never happened.

When the earth shook, she rushed into my room…

and I was sleeping.

I didn't notice anything.

Sometimes we mix up what really happened, what we're told,

- what we imagine… - For me, it's different.

I'm sure it happened.

Then I believe you.

Come, Issei. Come with us.

Let's talk later when we are done here.

Yeah.

- We take care of it. - No.

I searched for you on that mountain

- for so long. - Huh?

We're here.

Nothing. Everything is just so different.

Is that Ketevan's?

Yes, that's the one you pissed in.

- Come, come. - Come.

Come on, Davit. Let's go.

I was too young to remember that anyway.

Yeah, but I still remember that I got a beating from my father afterwards.

Come on, come on.

Let's choose.

- How many should we take? - About 20.

We are expecting many guests.

Davit, take this.

- It's enough. Take this. - No, that's it. That's it. That's it.

- Take this. - Let me, Mom.

Let's go now.

Are you okay?

My dears.

We have guests, so I'll say a few words.

If we're all here today, together…

it's maybe thanks to God.

Glory to God.

But above all, it's thanks to you, Camille and Issei.

You helped us to remember that we…

we were once children.

And we are of the same blood, Davit.

Let's forget what was before,

and we forgive you, Davit.

Let's drink. Cheers.

Cheers.

I didn't drink wine for years.

It seems like I missed something important in this family…

my family, and thank you.

In two days, my life has changed and I wanna thank you both.

I was a bully, and now I'm respected. I don't know what happened.

I'm still the same, same old kid that pissed in the qvevri.

Blasphemy.

But as long as we're here to clean the dust,

did anyone of you ever bother to ask why I did that?

Or did you just think that, "That's him. He was born bad.

Nothing he can do about it."

Right?

Tamar, you want to tell them? Why it all happened?

- Davit. - I'm not done yet.

My father shot the dog the day before.

He killed my dog because he didn't like his barking,

or maybe because I loved him so much.

Because he was all I had.

He kept me warm when I was afraid at night.

He protected me.

And none of them did, by the way.

And I don't remember her being there when that happened.

I don't remember you saying anything

when my father locked me in the cellar for three days.

In the dark.

Locked in the cellar with no light, no food and no water. Nothing.

They took me out of there, exhausted,

and now, you say you forgive me?

You're the one who should be asking my forgiveness!

You should be on your fucking knees!

You need to start packing, because I'm selling all of this.

Everything. It's over, gone. Burn it to the ground.

That's it.

Let go of me.

You called Davit Abashidze. Leave a message. Thank you.

Voicemail. I'll try again.

There's no point.

He's made up his mind.

He will calm down.

We've got involved in a story that's not ours.

Give me back my phone.

You heard him.

In two weeks, all of this is gone.

Is that what you want?

This wine is beautiful, and it's going to be lost.

Give me my phone back. Please.

Where are you going?

Come with me.

Tamar.

I have an idea.

In two days, I have to be in Paris for the First Vintage Contest.

It's one of the most important competitions in the world.

It's reserved only to new wines that have never been marketed before.

Like yours.

I can persuade them to put your wine in the contest.

And it will win. I'm sure it will.

I don't want to win a competition.

You, no. But Davit, yes.

Leave Davit alone.

Tamar, the wine that wins this competition becomes worldwide famous instantly.

Davit is a businessman.

He'll see his interest in it.

This will work, I promise.

You have to trust me.

You're not listening.

This wine will never be in a competition.

It will never be sold.

It's not made for that.

Now come, help us move the wine to the monastery.

You need to listen to what she's saying.

She's the one not listening.

You're selfish…

just like our father.

You see? The wine is saved.

Yes?

It's Ketevan.

Thank you.

I don't know if I'll have the strength to get up so early tomorrow,

so, I'll say goodbye now.

Thanks for everything.

Come back and see us, okay?

Come and see me too.

- Good night. - Night.

Good night.

It's for you.

It's from 2021.

The last vintage.

There will never be another.

You can open one if you're ever afraid of the dark again.

Thank you.

Good night.

Good night.

Hello.

Oh. No. I keep it. Thank you.

Bitch.
