Akhalkalaki, Armenian-inhabited town in Georgia, is depicted as burlesque and the same time tragic model of a Soviet town.

For many ages the Armenian nation, having no statehood, has concentrated all its values in the family and made it the center of the national spirit. The main characters of the film arrived in northern Armenia and not from paradise. They are refugees who escaped from violence. Both of them are young. The woman is pregnant. They create a world around themselves, and thus create themselves.

The central character of this film is 19th century poet Jivani, who was born in Akhalkalak, a region in Georgia populated with Armenians, where a century later film-director Harutyun Khachatryan was born. A work of tactile sensuality, it nominally depicts the step-by-step creation of a monumental statue of a poet that ends up traveling on the back of a truck through the Armenian countryside taking the statue to Jivani’s birthplace. This journey turns into poetic observation of the country and evokes the soul and daily life of its people.

A contemplative and poetic docu-drama, in which Khachatryan reflects on the Armenian-Azerbaijan conflict in the 1990s through the eyes of a she-buffalo in a cross-border Armenian village, full of refugees.

Documentary drama in several chapters: «Stone Quarry, 1996, June», «Maternity Hospital», « Beggars», «Feast of Beggars», «Children’s Home in Khaberde», «Refugees», «Shooting». The main character, documentary film director, and his small crew shoot and look through different stories. The film is composed of various materials that give a testimony of Armenia in mid-90-s. Tragedy of the transaction period. Despair that gives birth to hope.

Documentary about everyday life and serious social problems of one of the oldest districts of Yerevan.

The main characters of this film are a husband and a wife – Armenian actors living in the West. Far away from their historic native land, they try to find their spiritual roots.
