Summary
In the rugged terrains of early 20th-century Georgia, the bond of brotherhood is tested by the singular presence of Magdana, a woman whose beauty becomes a silent catalyst for tragedy. Turiko and Mgelia, brothers by blood but rivals in love, find themselves caught in a suffocating triangle of desire. The tension reaches a breaking point during a hunting expedition into the wild. When a bear brutally attacks Mgelia, Turiko—paralyzed by a subconscious hope for his brother's removal or perhaps sheer, human cowardice—stands motionless. He watches the life drain from Mgelia without lifting a finger. What follows is not a tale of triumph for the survivor, but a harrowing psychological descent. Turiko’s victory is hollow, as the ghost of his inaction manifests in a spiraling madness that demands a final, lethal penance.
Two brothers Turiko and Mgelia are in love with a young woman Magdana. Once they go together for hunt. A wild bear attacks Mgelia, but Turiko does not do anything to help him. Mgelia dies. Turiko gets guilty feelings, turns mad and commits suicide.
