Agricultural machinery is being unloaded from a ship at the Batumi port. The chairman of the collective farm asks the loaders to unload them first, due to the need to carry out work in the countryside on time. The loaders demand additional pay. Angered by the behavior of their senior comrades, the Komsomol members, led by Beso, unload the machinery themselves. After that, the old loader, Sergo, becomes angry with Beso. His daughter Kato marries Beso against her father's will. But Beso, like Sergo, forbids Kato from getting involved in public life. He only wants his wife as a domestic servant. Kato returns to his father with his son. Meanwhile, there are changes at the port. Due to mechanization, the loaders' work is significantly lighter. Sergo reconciles with Beso. The young people also reconcile. Kato starts working at a public canteen.

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
