A mud volcano in Akhtala, Georgia, constantly produces material for the local spa industry: Heated and spread on large linen cloths, the shimmering grey goo is believed to heal the sick.

Tako discusses this and other things with her grandmother, whose job it is to wash the used linen cloths and hang them up to dry in the sun. Together they animate this unadorned post-Soviet era building filled with constant spluttering and dripping, while a blubbering sound seems to be coming from the mud pit. Is the mud really whispering?
