'How Power Looks' — MiamisFF Review
Praising Black representation and condemning the power structures that suppress it, a mother delivers an impassioned speech to her distant son.
Nina
Nina is barely 40, she is attractive and successful: a stable marriage, a trusting relationship with her husband, a little son, a favorite job. The idyll of pleasant stability is broken by a call from the past - Nina's ex-lover Ruslan is dangerously ill and asks her to come to Tbilisi to see him, perhaps for the last time. The husband does not mind, he knew about their relationship in the past. Nina is happy to go to the city where she was happy in order to support a once loved one in a friendly way. She believes she loves her husband and family and plans to return home soon, not expecting this light trip to be her last.
