Like most of the cinematographies in the world, Georgian cinema witnessed, in the mid-20th century, the appearance of a distinguished generation of filmmakers. Some years after the great waves taught in film books, the films by filmmakers from the region started being part of the programs of the most important festivals. One of those was the first feature by Rekhviashvili, one of the cases in which the formalism of the time crossed paths with a filmmaker preoccupied by politics, ethics and the arrival of modernization. Told from the perspective of a young student who returns to his native Georgia, the film shows the struggle of the people against a foreign company that tries to exploit the natural resources of their lands for commercial purposes. A historical, anachronistic study on bureaucracy, patriotism, solidarity and the bond between man and nature.
