About film
The city-port of Odessa was founded as a refuge for people of different nationalities and religions. Humor is a special language that helps people from Odessa to communicate and get along with one another. Odessa's accent has become a stuff of legends. But there is a paradox – people are constantly leaving the city. It is loved, but it is left behind like every child's mother. Creators of the film look at Odessa to try and understand why people flee from their native places. They try to find the answers while filming Odessa's citizens in Germany, Israel, Ukraine, Russia, Austria, France, and other places. Michael Zhvanetskij, Roman Kartsev, Leonid Barats and Rostislav Khait, Victor Loshak, Oksana Fandera, Valerij Todotovskij, Mikhail and Anatoly Kontush, and many others talk about the phenomenon of the city by the Black Sea.
