The director and cameraman of this graduation film from the Moscow film school (VGIK) are of Armenian extraction. The film is a personal, artistic reckoning with a dramatic event in the life of the young filmmaker: the loss of her father, who committed suicide at the age of 21. The film is an attempt to reconstruct his life and being. A man she doesn’t have a single memory of.
