It is one of films coherent, maybe, only for the Eastern Europeans . Because the story is far to be a comfortable one , it seems only a sketch, the simpathy for young people looking for freedom becomes in conflict with the victims. For many reasons, a manifesto. About an age, so unique, against dictatorship, about fear and unpredictable reactions, about a wedding and a too fragil plan of escape. One of the virtues - the presence of Avtandil Maharadze in one of secondary roles.

Why is the title of the film in the original with a Russian word, when the film is released under a Georgian name.

I have red, haired and watched quite a lot about this historical event. Opinions always differ.. I will say briefly, that this film was more than I expected. It was way far from subjectivity and excessive romanticism what would make unambiguous heroes out of the main characters. Great scenario! Great actors! bravo!!! Great film!

I can't deny the technical strengths of the film. The film is well done. The performances across the board are strong, the cinematography gripping and effective for the kind of story being told, and the screenplay never feels exploitative. However, it's not exactly an enjoyable film to watch. I definitely do recommend it as a piece of filmmaking, but it's one that's hard to love. Still, one can't deny the impact the film has. I think the mysterious incident at the core of it does cloud it in mystery, and the film rightfully doesn't want to give easy answers or excuses for the behaviors shown.

It may be a true story and may be technical it is good, but my opinion is that there is so much filling in the movie at the beginning and then the main event is very short and i didn't really enjoy watching this movie.
