In a Caucasian city at the beginning of the twentieth century, amid workers’ strikes, street unrest, and police persecution, the brothers Aram and Misak meet. Aram is a hardworking bookbinder devoted to his family and good name, while Misak is a fallen wanderer who has long depended on his brother’s support. Their conversation gradually reveals a painful past, mutual resentment, and a secret that could finally destroy their bond. The central themes are guilt, moral choice, and the limits of brotherly compassion.
