End of the odyssey of a (states)man - or how to find yourself alone in front of yourself

More than the end of Zviad Gamsakhourdia state destiny - the main character isn't even named, this movie shows us a statesman who meets the end of this destiny through an odyssey that brings him in front of himself. It does so in filming Georgia and its beautiful mountains and songs, only to highlight the inherent loneliness that comes with power and the darkness he finds himself after a coup. Finding himself when running away, again and again.

With a slow pace, kinda poetic at some moments, it has also a persistent side - quite efficient there but some will find it repetitive. However, if you dive into the movie, it will move you into a story that tends to forget this specific story and aim being universal.

The biography, or "biopic", is a genre that portrays the life story of a real person, often a notable individual or historical figure. They aim to provide a depiction of the subject's personal history, achievements, challenges, and impact on society.
