SYNOPSIS

In a cramped apartment, a lifeless figure sprawls in the living room—the woman who was more than just a mother, but a maternal force, an unwavering anchor for Dato and Soso. Her sudden departure leaves the brothers adrift, grappling with everyday tasks they'd always taken for granted under her care. Brothers have no idea how to live. From frying an egg to arranging a funeral, their ignorance becomes painfully apparent. Their first hurdle? A coffin they can't afford. As days pass, the urgency of burial logistics intensifies alongside the woman's decomposing presence. The community's interest wanes, leaving only Larisa, an elderly neighbor, to offer a compassionate hand. Discovering the brothers' situation, Larisa mobilizes their neighbors to collect funds, providing a lifeline to Dato. But with money comes a new test: how will the brothers, unaccustomed to such wealth, handle this sudden fortune, especially considering the abundance of free land in the forest and the fact that their God is dead?
