The Passport
ComedyDrama
Merab, a Georgian taxi driver who mistakenly crosses into Israel while seeing off his Jewish brother, Yasha, gets stuck without documents. He gets entangled in bureaucratic nightmares, mistaken identity, and KGB plots while trying to return home.
VIBE
A darkly comedic, anxiety-inducing journey through bureaucratic absurdity. It feels like a Kafkaesque nightmare where mistaken identity leads to escalating, disorienting chaos. The humor is dry, the situations increasingly desperate, and the sense of displacement palpable.
