140 DRAMS tells the story of a young boy who must go to the store by himself for the first time. Things get complicated when the 140 drams his mother gave him for milk are not enough, and he has to make a difficult choice. The experience of this young boy becomes a kaleidoscope through which the landscape of a modern Armenia emerges. Through bits and pieces, fragments of conversation and glimpses of the insides of a single bedroom apartment, this film tries to put together a picture of this country, right now.
Born in Baku, Azerbaijan in 1984, Oksana Mirzoyan has lived in multiple countries since the fall of the Soviet Union: Armenia, Russia and the United States. With a degree in Art History from the University of Michigan, she has made a name for herself in independent cinema as an actor and above all a filmmaker. 140 DRAMS was awarded with an Honourable Mention at the Pomegranate Film Festival in Toronto (2012), Canada.
