When Sandro’s father decides to devote his life to God and leaves for a monastery, the teenage introvert finds himself deprived of the fundamental certainties of life. Abandoned by his father and his mother, who is working abroad, the young man embarks on a journey of self-discovery, opening up both to a new friendship with the radical Lasha, who has ties with an ultra-right organisation, and also to the chance to explore his own sexuality. George Sikharulidze’s perceptive feature debut considers how fine the line is between the observer and the observed, and asks where contemporary post-Soviet Georgian society is heading as it hovers on the border between religious conservatism and nationalisation on the one hand, and the desire for independence and modernisation on the other.

El hechizo de dejarse lavar la cabeza en una peluquería es bien conocido. Y funciona no solo en la adolescencia. De igual manera, la tímida intimidad en contraste con las necesidades corporales de la adolescencia se muestra en la película con matices precisos y delicados. Pero sorprendentemente, no se adentra en ninguna dramatización que lo haga impactante y memorable. Y como no puede funcionar como una oda poética a la inocencia sin un toque más artístico, simplemente sigue siendo académicamente aburrido. [KVIFF]
