How Viktor "the Garlic" took Alexey "the Stud" to the Nursing Home

This inventive road movie about a son and father finding their way to one another has none of the sentiment normally associated with this kind of subject matter. The film introduces an ensemble of wild characters from the lowest social strata, viewed through a lens that finds a balance between the work's profoundly human dimension and its stylishly ironic commentary on contemporary society.
