The day after the fumeral of Varlam Aravidze, the mayor of a small Georgian town, his corpse turns up in his son's garden and is secretly reburied. But the corpse keeps returning, and the police eventually capture a local woman accusing her of digging it up. She says that Varlam should never be laid to rest, as when he was alive he was responsible for a Stalin-like reign of terror that led to the disappearance of many of her friends.

The villain of the film is something of a caricature of a dictator mixed with charasteristics of Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini, etc, but he also rules like a Roman emperor and even has his own praetorian guard and knights of the round table and he rules his kingdom like Satan himself. His character closely resembles that of a classical tyrant defined by Aristot"
