Tamaz Bibiluri

The work-relate conflict between father and son disrupts the order of previously peaceful family.

Instead of going to the front, where he had decided to go after his father’s death, Giga Betaneli ends up at a defence factory in Donbass. His fiancée Nana, who had not received any letters from him, believed he had died. Several years later, Betaneli returned and started working at a metallurgical plant. To his surprise, he discovered that Nana had married his new friend Tamaz. Devastated by the news, Giga realised that nothing could be changed.

In order to increase yield in the collective farm, the process of renewal of grape varieties is underway, this process also applies to homestead vineyards. Pioneers also help elders. Papa Gigia understands the importance of the process, but he does not want to cut a vineyard on his homestead because of the memories of his youth. His grandson, Dato, who doesn't want to lag behind his comrades, starts pruning the vineyard arbitrarily, for which Papa severely punishes him. But when Dato's behavior becomes the object of criticism by the pioneers, Papa forgives his grandson and cuts the remaining vine himself.
