Abastumani – a unique resort in Georgia, must yield to the country's richest man, Bidzina Ivanishvili. The place that for more than a century often offered tuberculosis patients their last hope remained a persistent thought in the director's dreams. Through her personal medical history, the narrator approaches the fairy-tale-like and eerie past of the location. "The Magic Mountain of Abastumani" transforms – if only briefly – from a place of isolation and death into one of solidarity and mutual care.
