is an aspiring young artist and Tina is a young financier from Tbilisi,
Georgia. He and Tina have been together for a long time. Tina works in a
consulting company. When Tina is promoted and appointed as a manager of the
company’s branch in United Arab Emirates, she is happy, as this is the
opportunity of taking a big step forward in her career.

is not against Tina moving to United Arab Emirates for the job opportunity.
After a while, the distance wears on their romance and their relationship
deteriorates. Tina becomes colder in her online chats with Sandro so Sandro decides
to visit Tina in Abu Dhabi. Sandro arrives in United Arab Emirates and asks
Tina to spend the weekend with him. They have only one day to make up and clear
up their feelings for each other. Sandro rents a car and they head for the
countryside to spend time together in a peaceful environment. Their
relationship is visibly tense. There is all desert and vast emptiness around
them. On the way, the gas meter suddenly drops and Sandro realizes they were either
fooled at the gas station or there’s something wrong with the car. Sandro sees
a settlement not fat from where they stopped.

and Tina walk into the town. The streets are empty; it’s more like a ghost town
than a human settlement. A couple of cars abandoned in the street are covered
with a thick layer of dust. The shacks are in ruins. Some buildings and houses
look decent but covered in dust. Sandro and Tina walk in the deserted town,
clinging to the hope that they will find a living soul, that there is someone
still living here. But when they find an old toy in one of the houses, Sandro
becomes suspicious. He used to have exactly the same toy during his childhood.
Sandro and Tina walk into the house – out of curiosity this time. Sandro can’t
get enough of the place; he seems obsessed. He says it’s a perfect place for a
writer. Tina is scared and begs Sandro to get out of there. The couple keeps
finding more weird places in the abandoned town and discussing them. Tina is
cold to Sandro; he can sense it and tries to keep her engaged with the oddities
of the town. They find a bathtub, broken in two. Things are getting even
stranger. Tina fears that the place is cursed… Once or twice they hear eerie
sounds, but they turn out to be only ruins collapsing or some other natural
sounds. Sandro is struggling to awaken the love between him and Tina, and
reminds her of everything they’ve been through together. Tina keeps her cool,
and grows even colder. Their conversation is on the background of the abandoned
and ruined town where every corner has something strange in store for the
couple. They find some objects that they think they have seen before. Finally
they come across a mosque and enter it. While inside they hear the call of
prayer out of nowhere and it seems to be scary since there is nobody in the
town to sing or pray. They hear a sound of falling stones outside and run to
see what happened. Tina is even more stressed and Sandro cannot control himself
anymore. He hugs Tina and gives her a small kiss. Tina kisses back but after
that she runs away. Sandro decides to leave her alone and meanwhile finds a big
wooden board next one of the houses and starts painting there with graffiti
paint. Later on he finds Tina seating in a garden next to a bathtub. Her eyes
are teary. Sandro rushes to her in relief. And Tina, as if nothing’s happened,
just walks beside him. It gets dark soon. Sandro promises Tina that once they
spend another night in the car, they will cross the highway and try to catch a
passing car.

sleep in the car. In the morning, Sandro wakes up first. He opens the car door
to get some fresh air and gets out of the car. Tina is still asleep. Much to
his surprise, Sandro discovers that the car is still there where they left it,
but the town is gone. There is only the desert around them… the highway and the
desert…. No town. Sandro, stunned, gets back into the car, and instinctively
tries to start it. The engine starts, the gas meter shows there is enough gas
in the tank. Sandro looks around the desert and smiles… then starts the car and
leaves… Tina wakes up at the noise and asks in surprise: “where are we?” Sandro
answers that while she was sleeping a car passed by, he borrowed some gas and
started the car, and they left the town behind long ago. The rear-view mirror
reflects the desert. The car is moving forward… Suddenly, in the vast smooth
desert, they see the broken bathtub that they saw in the town. “Sandro, can you
see the bathtub? Can you see it too?” – Tina asks in panic. “It’s a mirage” –
Sandro answers The car is driving on the background of empty vastness of the
desert along the twisting highway. Tina is sitting in the back of the car,
looking out with a blank face.
