About
** Winner: Best International Feature, Best Screenplay, and Best Actor Awards at Tribeca 2021! **
Former wrestling champion Kakhi (Levan Tediashvili, himself a former Olympic wrestling champion) always has his family on his conscience. As a result, he finds himself on a journey from his home in the Republic of Georgia to visit his son Soso (Giorgi Tabidze) in the Russian-speaking neighborhood of Brighton Beach, Brooklyn. There, he finds Soso living in a shabby boarding house populated by a colorful group of fellow Georgian immigrants. And Soso is not studying medicine, as Kakhi believed, but is working for a moving company and has accrued a $14,000 gambling debt to a local mob boss. Kakhi sets his mind to helping his hapless son out of his debt, leading to situations that are often as comical as they are dire.
(Levan Koguashvili, Georgia, Russia, Bulgaria, Monaco & US, 2021, 95 min, in English, Georgian, Russian & Kazakh with English subtitles)

“Touchingly absurd and absurdly touching… A slow-burn family drama infused with welcome doses of deadpan dark humor.” – The Hollywood Reporter
“A touching and surprising exploration of masculinity…” – Cineuropa
