Mtis kanoni

Deep within the jagged peaks of 19th-century Karachai-Balkaria, the timber industry serves as a backdrop for a harrowing collision between personal loyalty and ancestral law. Dolgat and Ismail are not merely colleagues in the grueling wood trade; they are companions forged in the crucible of manual labor. This bond is tested when a freak accident during a logging operation results in the death of Dolgat’s brother at Ismail’s hands. While Dolgat recognizes the tragedy as a cruel twist of fate, the insular mountain community refuses to accept the nuance of an accident. They demand a vendetta—a life for a life. As the 'Law of the Mountains' exerts its crushing pressure, the film explores the agonizing erosion of a friendship under the weight of a code that predates mercy.
