Festival history

“Recently, my young son came up to me. He had seen my old uniform hanging in the closet. He asked, 'Daddy, are you a warrior?' I didn't know how to respond to him”. After the war, Vardan didn’t look at the footage. He wanted to move forward but how do you do this without understanding the war? Vardan searches for the people he shared a trench with twelve years ago. Intimate conversations raise the ultimate questions about the human costs of war. Seeking to find out how they survived the war and more importantly how they are surviving in peace.
