The Moon is a Father

Georgia, autumn 1991. Twelve-year-old Toma lives with his grandmother in Tbilisi, constantly getting into trouble at school. Their lives change when Nemo, Toma's father, returns from prison and takes the boy to his ancestral mountain village. On a hunting trip intended to teach the boy independence, a tragic accident leaves Toma alone in the wilderness. He must survive snowstorms and wolves to bring his father's body back to civilization, proving he has truly learned the lessons of self-reliance.
