Patient No. 1 (Russian: Пациент №1) is a 2023 Georgian feature film directed by Rezo Gigineishvili. Produced by the Georgian studio Independent Film Project.

Plot

The action of the movie takes place in the late USSR. General Secretary of the CPSU Central Committee Konstantin Chernenko is lying in Moscow Central Clinical Hospital. He is old and infirm, but he holds power tightly. "Power is only taken, it is never given away," he repeats. And this is convenient for both the elites and the security services - as long as the "body" is alive, various groups are scoring political points. The General Secretary is "condemned to life." He is cared for by a young nurse Sasha. Small, fragile and inconspicuous, she bears the heavy burden of responsibility for the life of the country's top official.
