Koguashvili recently told us that his film was inspired a true story: “The starting point was a real encounter with a father whom I met while I was a student at NYU film school,” he said during a recent Contenders International panel. “I was doing research for my first feature, and I spent lots of time in Brighton Beach.
“Somehow he managed to get a visa—which was very difficult thing to do—then he came to New York, found his son in the streets of New York and saved him,” he said. “He was a very modest guy. Didn’t speak English, didn’t speak much, but there was strength, and modesty, and dignity, in the way he behaved. I was moved very much by this story.”
