Film & Gespräch

Shot over a four-year period, Sareen Hairabedian’s minutely-observed documentary tracks the most critical, and tragically fateful former phase in the history of the self-proclaimed republic of Artsakh through the eyes of Vrej, a boy entering his adolescence through war, blockade and imminent displacement.



Through a cinema verité style, she paints a remarkably lucid portrait of a child as he slowly comes to terms with the cruel realities of the modern world and the brittle binds of a homeland.
