Synopsis
A Georgian story of conscience, rumor, and resistance.
In Soviet Georgia, Gabriel is not a powerful man. He has no army, no political position, and no protection. What he has is conscience, belief, and one dear friend. He also happens to be a Monk.
When he publicly burns a massive portrait of Lenin during a May Day parade in 1965, he is not only beaten by the crowd, but the Soviet authorities respond with the full force of the system. He becomes the target of a campaign designed to destroy not only his body, but his name through torture, psychiatric confinement, and a campaign of nine rumors designed to turn society against him (and hence, his religion).
