Description:

A brave lad goes to confront a witch who has stolen the water of his people.

The title, "Mzechabuki", is probably the name of the main character. It is a somewhat uncommon Georgian word that means "good-looking young man", made up of the words "mze" ("sun") and "chabuki" ("young man"). It has also been used a first name, but mostly in the past.

The film is entirely in Russian except for a short Georgian-language song at the end. There may have been a Georgian-language version of the film made too, but it is not currently online. The song is part of a popular patriotic Georgian poem, and its four lines actually originally come from two different verses of the longer 1892 poem "Dawn" by Georgian poet Akaki Tsereteli (1840–1915). A good English translation of the whole poem can be found here. Some Russian translations can be found here, here and here. A musical score of the song can be found here.

Aspects of the film's story (particularly the animals saved by the main character, who then help him at the end) resemble the Russian fairy tale "The Frog Princess", an adaptation of which was also released in the same year, in Moscow.
