Caucasian Blues

Alexander returns to his native village after a decade in Moscow. He intends to sell his father's old house and leave the Caucasus forever, but an encounter with his childhood, preserved in the mountains, changes everything. The local history teacher, who remembers his father, proposes an unexpected deal: help restore the abandoned school in exchange for the land. Gradually, the city rhythm gives way to the pace of mountain life, and family secrets buried for decades begin to surface. The 2026 drama explores the theme of returning to one's roots through the lens of personal memory and cultural divide. The film balances nostalgia with the necessity of moving forward, where every stone on the path holds a story, and every silence carries unspoken pain. The protagonist finds himself at a crossroads between two worlds, neither of which feels entirely like home anymore.
