The words "love" and "joy" in the Georgian language differ by only one letter. Georgia became a refuge for tens of thousands of Russians who fled Russia in 2022. The number of those who entered in the first three months of that year exceeded the previous ones by 400%. And although all subsequent figures already showed the outflow of Russians from Georgia, this country became a home for many, and not just a refuge. We talked to those who left out of despair, fear, injustice and shame. The film "Behind Upper Lars" is a story about people who did not want to leave Russia, who were able to create, work, repair, teach, console, and talentedly show the stunning beauty of the country. This film is also about Georgia through the eyes of those who found themselves in one of the most beautiful countries on the planet by force. Now these are stories about torn generations, homesickness and the most difficult question "Will you return?"
