Abkhazia, the end of 19th century.
A father always tried to bring up his son Ardashyn a dignified and honorable person. Soon the father admitted his failure. Ardashyn has grown up an egoistic and arrogant person. Fatal turn of events throws together abreks (bandits), horsemen who were back from the happy wedding, and Ardashyn. This caused a chain of events which would leave some people dead. The story is about wisdom, human decency, manlike behavior and blood feud unfolding against the picturesque Caucasus Mountains.
