520 "Susa is a twelve-year-old boy. Like any other boy, he
likes to collect stickers with images of cars and pieces
of colorful stained glass. He lives with his mother on the
outskirts of Tbilisi. His daily life consists of a work
for an illegal vodka distillery. His mother helps concoct
the brew and label the bottles, while his job is to
deliver the final product to the town. He goes into cheap
cafes and small stalls, finding a prostitute here and a
drunk there. Every day, he's obliged to pay a share of his
meager income to a street gang, and avoid the watchful
eyes of policemen. One day, Susa's mother tells him that
his father will arrive in few days after a long absence.
She assures him that the father's return means they will
soon be back to the normal life they once had—a life that
he can barely remember. Allowing a glimmer of hope into
his hardscrabble existence, Susa spends the next days
preparing for his father's arrival: he works hard to sell
more vodka bottles. Believing that it's his last day of
work, he refuses to pay the street gang and escapes from
them. But in the world where Susa lives, hope and
expectation turn out to be illusions soon destroyed by
reality. Shooting in a neorealist style, debuting feature
director Rusudan Pirveli avoids pathos for a more genuine
and wrenching catharsis."--Alissa Simon, San Francisco
