Sergej Paradjanov recounts an old Georgian legend with his imaginative fantasy. The legend is about a fortress on the border whose walls are penetrated again and again. A fortune teller prophesies that a young warrior must be walled into the fortress to make it impenetrable. The fortune teller is the former love of a peasant who is freed by his lord and looses his wife. His son takes the prophesy upon himself, sacrifices himself and becomes a folk hero.
“I am the only Soviet director that was imprisoned by three different regimes, under Stalin, under Brezhnev and under Andropov,« says the Armenian-Georgian Filmmaker Paradjanov.
