Gulo has already cried her eyes out – she sees nothing and no one. But when someone comes to the nursing home, she asks them to take out three portraits from the shelf case and look at her children and grandson. And says – are they beautiful, are they good? That’s how she buried all three of them, the good and beautiful ones, and laid them in the ground. And she herself lives just to cry. Without eyes, without a home, without documents. Abandoned by the dead and the only living daughter but found by kind people.

Nani had to endure many hurtful words throughout her years. The pain caused by them hurts her stronger than physical pain. “Ugly,” “crooked”… she can’t even remember them all. Now she is a strong 65-year-old woman. She is no longer afraid of hurtful words, but her wounds inflicted by sharp words still haven’t healed.

Giorgi remembers his mother, but he remembers only one thing – how she lay in the coffin and how everyone cried loudly. After that, he stopped talking, and for the past 13 years, only his grandmother and sister Mariam can understand him now. Mariam doesn’t remember their mother, and perhaps it’s for the best, as their mother passed away five days after giving birth without coming into senses or embracing her daughter.

“You know how bad it is when hunger grips your stomach! We’re always hungry, and we live very poorly. And Mom doesn’t have the money to buy us even one candy to share. We only buy bread. Bread for lunch, bread before bed…soon we’ll start looking like loaves ourselves,” little Andria giggles, not realizing there’s nothing funny about his words. And he wonders why Mom starts crying at such a funny joke…but what else can a desperate mother do when she can’t feed her children? When they ask God to turn a piece of bread into something tasty? “You can do that, right?” Andria looks naively at the sky and shows his bread to God. “Turn my bread into meat!”

“Nina began to suffocate – I heard her wheezing. I did everything possible to save my daughter, to help her breathe, but nothing helped. She stopped breathing, started turning blue. Her little hands became weak, and her fingers began to freeze… Nina’s heart stopped… Oh God! I know what hell looks like!” On that day, Nina almost died… her heart stopped and while the ambulance was taking her to the hospital, her brain shut down. Subsequently, Nina lost her vision and is now on life support. For 2 years now, the little beauty has been in the palliative care unit of the hospital, and doctors cannot make a prognosis for when her mother will finally manage to embrace her disease-ridden daughter. They shrug their shoulders and say – “Pray.”

The scoundrel husband abandoned the beautiful 20-year-old Sofia as soon as he found out that his son, Giorgi, was infected with a deadly disease in the hospital! Now he pays 100 lari in alimony and lives for his pleasure! The mother dedicated the best years of her life to her child. Love knows no boundaries! Self-sacrifice! Only mothers know what that is! Giorgi was born premature and developed sepsis due to the negligence of doctors, which affected the baby’s brain. Because of the infection!
