Their Helicopter

About This Movie

Their Helicopter is quite the curious little documentary, you know? It captures the Ardoteli family’s life in the Georgian mountains, intertwining their simple, rustic existence with the surreal twist of a Chechen helicopter crash. The atmosphere is gently absurd, almost dreamlike, as this unexpected piece of machinery becomes part of their routine. There’s a unique pacing—slow and contemplative, allowing us to breathe in their world and the oddity of the situation. The family's interactions feel genuine, their bewilderment palpable yet somehow accepting. It’s the whole blend of real life meeting absurd situations that makes it stand out, giving us a glimpse into how the mundane and bizarre can coexist.
