This is the intro from the film Mimino, a while back I sifted a song from it by the lead-man Vahtang Kikabidize, this is the movie from where the song originates:

"Pilot Mimino works at small local airlines, flying helicopters between small villages. But he dreams of piloting large international airlines aircraft after he meets a few friends from flying school on the Concorde, so he goes to Moscow for refresher courses. There in a hotel he meets truck driver Rubik who is given a place in that hotel by mistake, and they have a lot of adventures in Moscow."

It is one of my favorite movies from childhood, a cinematic master piece that captures the Georgian people, the soviet union, wrapped in the fable of trying to find what fulfills the soul. Directed by the renowned Georgian director Georgi Daneliya.
The video opens with pilot Mimino calling into a transmission tower asking for a landing, since Georgia is so full of remote communities most of the transportation was done by helicopters.

Mimino - "Mazeripan, Mazeripan, this is Sokal asking for permission to land, do you copy over?"
Mazerpan - "Sokal, this is Mazeripan, cloud cover is high, wind is 23 North-South, you are cleared for landing"
*Helicopter lands*
Mimino - "Accept the mail..."
Mazerpan - "Mail accepted, the back up airport is what?"
Mimino - "Snori... Announce the landing"
Mazerpan - "Flight number 1, please on the scales!"
Man with stick - "Valikom, there were 8 sheep, where did one go?"
Mimino - "Did you count yourself?"
Man with stick - "No"
Mimino - "Well it is 8 counting you too"
Man with stick - "Hey! It was 8 counting me too!"

The song that plays is the famous Моя песня which in time became Vahtang's signature song over the years. As we take a wonderful helicopter ride through the mountain regions of Georgia. It is so beautiful. Ah memories... after the landing Mimino comes to where his father, sister and her son live (the boy he puts the hat on). Who chains up the helicopter so it wouldn't be stolen...

Mimino - "What are you standing for?"
Kids - "What's the movie tonight"
Kid with hat - "Shattered Heart"
Kids - "Is it about war?"
Kid with hat - "No, about love!"

I love this movie.
