Manana

An adaptation of Eugene O'Neill's play Desire Under the Elms.

The Moorish general Othello is manipulated into thinking that his new wife Desdemona has been carrying on an affair with his lieutenant Michael Cassio when in reality it is all part of the scheme of a bitter ensign named Iago.

Sandro Koridze, the manager of the trust, is a bureaucrat, flatterer, and coward who prioritises his own well-being. One day, while walking outside the city, he accidentally hits a calf with his car. Terrified, believing he has killed someone, Sandro flees into the mountains.

The revolutionary struggle of the Georgian proletariat is the central theme of this story. The narrative follows the life and fate of a young revolutionary named Mito. After the Mensheviks disrupt a railway strike, Mito is sentenced to three years in prison, and his father is executed. During his time in prison, Mito shares a cell with an old Bolshevik, which transforms the hot-headed and unstable young man into a conscious Bolshevik. Soon, World War I begins, and Mito, who has just been released from prison, is sent to war.
