September 2022. The kettle clicks off too early, the phone lights up with the same clip in every chat, and a single word changes everything: mobilization. Within days, a young couple is packing whatever fits into two bags and crossing a border with no plan beyond "somewhere that isn't here." Anna has family abroad, a mother who knows whom to call. Her boyfriend has charm, a quick tongue, and a talent for letting other people carry the weight. In a borrowed flat in Tbilisi, under the eyes of new friends, kind strangers, and one very patient mother, a new life has to be built from scratch — rent, odd jobs, favors owed, and promises that are easier to make than to keep. Everyone around him is generous. Everyone is keeping score. And nobody quite agrees on who Sergey really is: a survivor doing his best, or a man who has made a career out of being looked after. Told across two years of exile, Sergey the Freeloader is a quiet, sharp, often funny drama about love under pressure, the small debts that pile up between people, and the moment you realize the story you've been telling about yourself isn't the one everyone else has been hearing. New episodes regularly. Put your headphones on and step into the flat.
