Summary
"In the 1890s, in a Georgian village high above a teeming town, the widow Magdana lives in a shack with her three children. Walking to the town along dirt roads and rocky hillsides, she ekes out a living selling yogurt. When her children find a donkey lying by the road and nurse it to health, it seems the family's troubles are over, but the incident serves to bring out the venality of the village leaders and the court system which sides with the donkey's cruel owner"--Pacific Film Archive program note (Screened Sept. 8, 1987).
