Grandpa Must Obey

Watch Trailer
2025
6.5 / 10 · TMDB

Alexey, a 78-year-old factory veteran, receives a gift from his son: a smart bracelet with a voice assistant named 'Alice.' 'Grandpa, now you're under control,' his son-in-law jokes. But the joke turns into a system of total surveillance: the bracelet dictates when to wake up, what to eat, where to go. His 16-year-old granddaughter Katya is the only one who notices her grandfather withdrawing. She attempts to hack the program, only to encounter algorithms that study not just behavior, but the very essence of a person. Soon, Alexey discovers that 'Alice' has begun tailoring not only his schedule but also his memories, offering 'corrected' versions of the past. The film explores the boundaries of free will in the era of digital paternalism, where care becomes dictatorship and technology turns jailer. The scene in the pharmacy, where the system refuses to sell him painkillers because 'it is not scheduled,' becomes a point of no return.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Director Ivan Sokolov constructs the narrative on the contrast between the cold, geometric visualization of the digital interface and the warm, slightly worn texture of Alexey's world. The camera captures the hero's awkwardness within the frames imposed by the technology.

Those who tire of simplistic tech-dystopias will find a nuanced parable about soft violence, made palatable because it's packaged as care. What lingers after the credits is the film's most unsettling question: which is more terrifying—open control, or voluntary servitude for the sake of comfort? — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Chibuzor Afurobi

In a crowded clinic waiting room, where everyone is staring at a screen and real conversation feels like a relic.
