[2] Set in late 19th-century Georgia during its time in the Russian Empire, the story follows Benjamin Glonti, a carefree young doctor recently returned home after studying in St. Petersburg.

When his creditor Abessalom Shalvovich demands repayment under threat of imprisonment, Benjamin reluctantly agrees to Sofiko’s plans.

Sofiko and her husband Luka sell their home to secure Benjamin’s release, moving their family into a forest cabin.
