When former wrestling champion Kakhi learns that his son Soso has gotten himself into difficulties, he travels from Georgia to New York to help him and find out what is going on… Levan Koguashvili has set his latest offering in Brooklyn’s Brighton Beach, capturing the diverse atmosphere of a neighborhood that is home to immigrants from the former Soviet Union – a place where languages and ethnic groups mix, where most shop signs are in Cyrillic, and where people’s nostalgia for their homeland mingles with their current woes. Profoundly melancholic and infused with tragicomic moments and a sense of understanding for its protagonists, the film captures the bond between a father and his adult son, an ancient bond in which the older man will always feel the need to protect his blood, no matter what the circumstances.
#2021 VIFF Online# 前获2021翠贝卡最佳国际故事片、最佳编剧和最佳男演员，后入围平遥首映单元。男主角真的是个古典式摔跤运动员，两届奥运冠军（片中那段资料录像和获奖照片都是本人），之前也参演过申格拉亚的古装史诗片。男主角是不错的，服气；但片子其实乏善可陈，开头“格鲁吉亚”部分似乎有段落是在保加利亚拍的（为了拿基金……），开头的段落基本是废戏（男主角弟弟这个人物此后根本没出现过，以...
虽然结局差口气但还是。在视频电话里看到的丈夫尸体，再也听不到的许多年。海风带走了人们的过去和将来。
“医生治不了疲惫”，暮年摔跤冠军，对不成器的儿子和弟弟，一直是毫无怨言地付出，真硬汉，无索取。中欧底层移民，混混、骗子和平民，各有各的难处，所以能把酒言欢，互舔伤口，彼此相敬，悲剧又很幽默。问了在美国取得医师资格证的好友，根本不需要绿卡就能考试，所以这儿子。。。
麻了，为啥除了妈宝还有爹宝啊？表面是在刻画主角的心理和移民经历，但其实也是在借主角之视角来写群像，但也都比较浅，情绪有点难落地。
@第五届平遥电影节 本届到目前为止最感人的一部，不长但扎实，从毫不计较的父爱出发，展现了异乡人在纽约的艰难处境，因此偶然的共鸣和理解的达成，那些一起歌唱的时光才显得尤为闪光和难得，片名也点出了不是老爷子的独角戏，也不止于格鲁吉亚人… 不知道为啥没有映前映后
