Endless Escape, Eternal Return

Anverj pakhust, haverzh veradardz

Directing: Harutyun Khachatryan

Synopsis

Two musicians - Ruben and Plush, started travelling across what was formerly the Soviet Union, interviewing Armenians living in self or imposed exile. They raised existential questions about national identity and the meaning of home, literally and figuratively. The film contains footage from 1980s and from our days. Would these people, who left their home country, be ever back? If they were running just from themselves, what did they find in the end? What changed these 20 years in people’s lives? What makes them return or leave their country again and again? These questions encouraged Harutyun Khachatryan to start a huge research, which takes the observations done 20 years ago and follows the same people nowadays.
