Just one house exists in the memories of those forced to leave Sokhumi – their own home. In their conversations, they try to remember every detail -- from wooden staircases and tangerine gardens to the very color of an entrance door.

Some 25 years have passed since these Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) left Abkhazia, but their memories still contain the color, smell, sound and feeling of the city in which they once lived.
