Mimino - Giorgi Danelia
"Mimino" is another classic Georgian comedy. This film takes place in the 1970's, around the same time that it was filmed.
The main character, Mimino, is a pilot in his home country of Georgia. He moves to Moscow during the film to become a pilot for a large airline, and while there he meets Rubik, and Armenian man. In general, Georgia and Armenia have positive relations with one another politically, and in recent years in particular Georgia has played an important role in the Armenian economy. As with many of the Georgian comedies, much of the humor here comes from the stereotyped differences between Georgians and Armenians.
