In this outrageous cult comedy, Valiko Mizandari - nicknamed "Mimino" (the falcon) - services small villages in the mountains of Georgia with his helicopter. The pilot is loved by everyone and dreams of piloting a large international airlines aircraft, so he leaves for Moscow, only to find his dream more complicated than he could have imagined. Filled with charming local color, warm and humorous characters, and brilliant acting, this offbeat gem is bound to tickle your funny bone!
Editor's Note
A helicopter pilot from a small Georgian village has dreams of becoming a big international airline pilot, and he will stop at nothing to achieve his goal in this charming comedy that is much-loved in its native Russia. Mimino (Vakhtang Kikabidze), which translates into "falcon," ventures from his comfortable home to Moscow, posing as a member of an endocrinology conference in order to gain admittance at a hotel. There he forms an unlikely friendship with an Armenian--typically the enemies of Georgians--who is posing as well, and the pair have many misadventures as they attempt to navigate the sophisticated big city with their small-town ways. Though permeated with distinctly Soviet humor, this warmhearted, award-winning tale of a country boy in the big city has a universal and timeless appeal.
