Synopsis
A choir of village elders takes its songs abroad — that's the whole charm of Come on, Grandpas! (1981), a Georgian musical comedy you can watch online on iFILM. The old men come from a Gurian village famous for its folk singing, and they set off for a festival on Bulgaria's seaside coast.
The journey matters more than the destination. Along the way the grandfathers gather new friends, stumble into gentle mishaps, and prove that age is no obstacle to a good melody. Their Gurian polyphony rings out over a Bulgarian resort, and audiences answer with warmth. The humor stays kind, never sharp, and the singing is the real thing.
Directed by Geno Tsulaya and Ninel Nenova-Tsulaya, with Vasil Kakhniashvili, Shalva Kherkheulidze and Mikhail Vashadze on screen. At 82 minutes it's a light TV film worth playing for the folk music and the irrepressible cast rather than any twisty plot. Stream Come on, Grandpas! (1981) online on iFILM.
