A convict named Valiko, a Georgian by nationality, accidentally took part in a prison escape. But local villagers mistake him for a new Franch teacher and employ him in their local school.
Directed by Ilya Khotinenko, Person of French Nationality leans on a strong ensemble — Vladimir Maysuradze, Anna Mikhalkova, Valentin Smirnitskiy — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2000.
