Artificial intelligence is increasingly widespread, and the Omichi find themselves presenting the age-old struggle between parents and offspring in a fresh, innovative perspective.

In the recently released Russian comedy film, "Neirobatiya" (16+), director Vitaly Dudka presents a unique blend of humour, family drama, and technology. The film follows the life of Grisha, a talented IT specialist, played by Denis Vlasenko, as he navigates his modern, tech-driven world.

Grisha's life takes an unexpected turn when his notorious criminal father, known as "Bes," reenters his life. The film humorously portrays the clash between Grisha's digital, orderly existence and Bes's chaotic criminal background, leading to a series of comedic situations and misunderstandings.

The narrative also features three father-son storylines, including Lieutenant Sevka and his high-ranking father, and tech store owners. One of the most intriguing storylines revolves around Grisha, who, in an attempt to secure a job at a large company, creates a combat robot chicken. However, his father's accomplice demands that Grisha reveal the location of the stolen millions, adding a layer of tension to the narrative.

The film also touches upon themes of inclusivity, with the main hero being hard of hearing due to a childhood illness. This aspect is subtly woven into the story, creating a touching portrayal of a character who, despite his challenges, is determined to live a fulfilling life.

The love story between Grisha and Pelageya, the deaf daughter in the Old Believer settlement storyline, feels unnecessary and lacks meaningful conversation between father and son. However, Pelageya's character adds depth to the film, particularly when she runs away with Grisha.

One of the film's most intriguing elements is Grisha's invention that allows him to transfer his father's consciousness into various gadgets. This leads to some amusing scenarios, such as Bes's consciousness enjoying new technologies and ogling beautiful women.

However, the dialogue between Grisha and his father's consciousness is barely audible in the film, which may make it difficult for some viewers to fully appreciate these scenes.

The film's climax sees Grisha repairing his relationship with his father, finding the money, and evading the criminals. The end features a touching voice message from Khaev's character to his son, serving as a poignant reminder of the importance of family and reconciliation.

"Neirobatiya" is a film that offers a fresh take on family dynamics, technology, and the challenges of reconciling the past with the present in a fast-changing world. It's a must-watch for those who appreciate a good laugh, a heartwarming story, and a glimpse into the fascinating world of technology.
