Deadlock

This is the second story in the five-film documentary series by director Harutyun Khachatryan. In 1988-1989 filmmaker Harutyun Khachatryan started his painful exploration of alienation and rootlessness among Armenian exiles. Since then he has shot a huge archive depicting the developments of those days and concentrated on the personal life stories of several Armenian artists to be discovered in 5 documentaries. The second film is dedicated to Levon – an engineer, who was deeply respected years ago in Yerevan among those who knew him, since he did have “golden hands” and could “cure” any car. Right after the Soviet Union collapse, when life had become really unbearable in Armenia being in war-time and isolation, Levon immigrated to the USA, Los Angeles together with his family.
