The story of how a son gets a second chance to find a mother. About how war generates only human grief and creates unhealed wounds. The hero of the picture, 40-year-old Walter, left his native land for several years and works as a foreman at one of the Moscow construction projects. He builds not only houses in Russia, but also tries to build his new life. However, one day a phone call from his homeland breaks all his plans. Walter learns that the hostilities have reached the village in the mountains where his mother lives.

Pretty Good
Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .
I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
