11-year-old Misha arrives in Greece during the Olympic Games to live with his Russian mother again, unaware that a new "father"—and a new reality—awaits him. In a dazzled by its fleeting glory, Athens, Misha is violently thrust into the adult world, experiences immigration, and escapes into the dark side of his beloved fairy tales.

An atmospheric coming-of-age film that weaves fantasy and realism into an allegorical drama full of tenderness. The young Victor Khomut is simply wonderful.
