Far away in a distant mountain valley are two villages, where people have lived peacefully side by side for centuries, sharing their joys and sorrows. But life in the valley changes completely when doubt and distrust creep in, and young men embark on a revenge mission. Fear spreads among the elderly, women, and children.
Grandma Kaina, a wise and courageous woman, sets out on a dangerous journey to a spring located between the villages. The only thing that will calm down the outbreak of hate is the gentle weapon of grandmothers.

Långt borta i en avsides belägen bergsdal, ligger två byar. Där har människorna levt sida vid sida i fred under århundraden, och delat både glädje och sorg. Men sedan börjar tvivel och misstro smyga sig in i bybornas sinnen.
Livet i dalen ändras helt, när byns unga män ger sig av på en hämndresa. En rädsla sprids i byn bland de äldre, kvinnorna och barnen.
Farmor Kaina, en vis och modig kvinna, ger sig av på en farlig vandring till en källa belägen mellan byarna. Det enda som kan stoppa ett utbrott av hat är mor- och farmödrarnas gamla och beprövade medel.
