Magdana's Donkey (Georgian: მაგდანას ლურჯა, Russian: Лурджа Магданы, romanized: Lurja magdani) is a 1955 Soviet-Georgian black-and-white social-themed drama film co-directed by Revaz Chkheidze and Tengiz Abuladze based on a short story of the same name by Ekaterine Gabashvili.

In a small Georgian village at the beginning of the 20th century, Magdana Sesiashvili, a widow, struggles to support her three children, Sopo, Mikho, and Kato, by selling yogurt in the city.

One day, the children discover a sick, abandoned donkey on the road and, nursing it back to health, they name it Lurja (meaning "Blue-eyed").

The donkey's former owner, a wealthy coal merchant named Mitu, recognizes it in the city and decides he wants it back.

Mitu, having abandoned the donkey earlier, bribes the court, and through this underhanded tactic, he forces Magdana to surrender Lurja, taking away the family's source of hope and assistance.
