Excellent cinematography.

This is a movie about the man's search for identity in a large strange city, joy of small reconnections with "roots" and making a new home with memories. Added with pain of war, a struggle of an immigrant carrying longing for motherland, childhood, mother, family, love, friendship, and Hope.

It is so naive that even with a true love, a caring family, and unquestionable friendship beside you, man can still feels lonely.

Brought tears to my eyes. If you want a movie that will take you back to your childhood and old memories this is the one.

I think this movie excellently depicts that you may leave your home but home never leaves you.

If you want something to touch your soul deeply, something that will remind you about your motherland and warm feelings from your childhood, presumably forgotten but firmly embedded somewhere in your memories, then this is the right movie. Every time I watch it or tell a friend this story, I have tears in my eyes, and I think it won't leave you without any impression as well. It's about those unresolved and forever-alive problems connected with motherland and identity. And the final scene brings a lot to think about... Unfortunately the young actor (grandson) was killed in a stupid civil war in Georgia, and this fact just shakes my nerves when I think about it. He was an excellent actor!

Watch and enjoy this marvelous work of Georgian Cinema!
