Synopsis: Winner of the 1997 Oscar and Golden Globe for Best Foreign Language Film, "Kolya" is the story of a five-year-old boy named Kolya. Louka, a middle-aged Czech cellist is a bachelor who enjoys a lifestyle free of responsibilities. When he finds himself strapped for cash, he agrees to a marriage of convenience. But after his new bride skips town, Louka is left to father her five-year-old Russian son, Kolya. Neither could be more unhappy with their predicament, especially since they don't even speak the same language! It'll take time and patience for the cultural barrier between this unlikely father-son duo to fall, but when it does, an unbreakable bond forms in its place.
