Three Lives (film)

Three Lives (Georgian: სამი სიცოცხლე, Russian: Три жизни, sometimes Who is to Blame?)

Former shepherd Bakhva Pulava gradually rises up the social ladder; first as a foreman on the construction of a railway, then as a cunning profiteer, and finally as a significant capitalist-landowner.

However, a fortune teller's ominous prediction comes true: shortly after their marriage, Esma is abducted by Jeremia Tsarba, a lazy and corrupt ensign from a noble family.

Jeremia seeks refuge with his relative Valida, a cunning woman who wields influence over Colonel Lebov, a high-ranking official.

Consumed by grief and rage, Bakhva and his allies infiltrate Jeremia's residence and assassinate him with a dagger.
