ԺԱՆՆԱՆ ԵՎ ՁԱՅՆԵՐԸ | Film

Joan, a social worker with a mysterious mission, embarks on a journey through post-war Armenia. Meanwhile, a wounded soldier hides in a bunker, waiting for a chance to return home. Interwoven between these parallel narratives are scenes of children who are being taught to express themselves through music, poetry, and dance.



Rich in haunting, dialogue-free imagery, Vatinyan’s metaphorical road movie is an elliptical parable about the suffocating effects of war and the healing power of art.
