Shortly after the first democratically elected president of Georgia came to power he was ousted in a military coup. He sets out for the mountains with a group of loyalists to regroup with his supporters. Set against an imposing Caucasus backdrop, we witness a man fighting for power while waging an internal struggle as he heads to meet his fate. The winner of KVIFF 2014 returns with an archetypal story told with light melancholy and an unmistakable visual poetic. (Karlovy Vary International Film Festival)

It is a pity that after the acclaimed and metaphorically rich parable Corn Island, director Ovašvili comes up with something so empty that lacks both a more thoughtful plot and image precision. The story wanders in constant circles - the president and his cohort roam and hide in snowy and muddy Georgia, hide in someone's home every quarter of an hour, listen to the person’s opinion about the president, and after a few days are either respectfully expelled or forced to leave the shelter due to the fear of being discovered, and off they go again a few kilometers away to the next building. It's neither political, nor mood-forming, nor metaphorical - it's just boring. There is also surprisingly more singing than speaking in the film. The pros are in the acting and in the shots of nature.
