Spoilers ahead

Fourteen-year-old Sibylla, Nutsa Kukhianidze, arrives in a small Georgian village for a summer visit with her grandmother. At the outset, Mickey, Shalva Iashvili, a boy her age, narrates that Sibylla had promised him 100 kisses that summer but only delivered 73, leaving 27 missing kisses as the title hints at and the mood of the film suggests. The story unfolds in loosely connected episodes, with Sibylla roaming freely through the village and countryside, sometimes entering homes uninvited. She is often by Mickey’s side, yet she develops a noticeable crush on his father, Alexander, the 41-year-old astronomer, Evgeniy Sidikhin, whose life and affairs become the center of her observant, curious gaze.
