Kolya

Kolya is a Czech film about an old man who is dedicated to his music, heavily in debt, and a womanizer. Through a friend, he is convinced to enter a fake marriage in return for a large payment. But what ends up happening is his new wife emigrates into West Germany, leaving behind her five-year-old son, whom he ends up having to care for. Over the course of the remaining hour, his previous life is turned around as he comes to care for the boy. I enjoyed the movie, mostly for its charm than for anything specific or unique.
