Plot

The life of Zuriko an orphan passes in the hands of his grandmother Olgha and weirdly funny and loving neighbors, Iliko and Ilarion. Despite of war and famine these people never lose the sense of humour. Iliko and Ilarion constantly prank each other in a series of practical jokes, though they are closest friends. Meanwhile, Zuriko writes his first poem and his first love letter. The time passes. Zuriko graduates in Tbilisi and comes back to his village.

gollark: In the interests of fairness (treating people how they want to be treated), the death penalty would only be used on people who had previously supported the death penalty.
gollark: So I would instead assign a quota for *total* health, and distribute healthcare to maximize that.
gollark: Free healthcare would just encourage people to get too much healthcare, so they would be too healthy.
