“Come to eat!” – these are the most terrible words in life for 8-year-old Gio and 3-year-old Gaby… The mouth starts to feel so disgusting that it immediately makes you sick… Oh, these damned noodles never end!

Mom Tamara and her seven-year-old son Gabriel are alone in the entire world. Their dad has been gone for six years now: he killed himself because of boundless poverty and grief… They have no relatives either, there is nowhere to seek for help, there is no one to hope for. All that remains is to be strong, survive and pray to God. So they do, but they have no strength left at all.

“Let’s go, I’ll show you a hole! You know, I almost died there? It grabbed my leg, and I screamed: “A-ah-ah!” But my mother managed to grab me, otherwise it would have eaten me!” – baby Niniko drags me by the hand. She wants to show me some sinister hole. “Just look, be careful, it can grab you too,” – the baby warns me.

– Mother Nino says without hiding her tears.
– Mom, the holiday is coming soon, don’t cry, – Goderdzi soothes her. And Barbara strokes her mother on the head.
It’s coming soon… – sighs Nino.

“Our bread is the tastiest. It is harder to bite it today, yesterday it was softer.”

5-year-old Vache thinks that his mom has bad taste – when she tastes noodles or potatoes she always says: “Try it, it is so delicious!” But Vache wishes he never set eyes on either potatoes or noodles.
