During the Cold War, four legendary female chess players from Georgia revolutionized women’s chess across the globe. Nona Gaprindashvili, Nana Alexandria, Maia Chiburdanidze, and Nana Ioseliani became Soviet icons of female emancipation. The film explores their interwoven biographies, chronicles their lasting legacy, and casts a rare look into their present lives. Unique Soviet archival footage expands the narration and reveals an unexpected side of Soviet propaganda.
