Storyline
Nahapet (meaning patriarch in Armenian) has lost his family, his house and all his properties during the Armenian Genocide in 1915. Self-absorbed and reticent, he's like a withered tree. The village on the slope of Mount Aragats, where he finds shelter, consists only of half-destroyed houses and sun-scorched earth. Could Nahapet find the inner strength to build a new house, start a new family and revive the things cast away by his destiny? This eternal story of resurrection is symbolic for the Armenian nation's history. Written by Artak

The 91st Academy Awards isn't the first year the show won't have a host, but it will be the first time since the 1989 Snow White and Rob Lowe incident. So will the 2019 Oscars still rock you?

I'm only writing this review because no one else did, and yet this relatively obscure film shows the usual IMDb Armenia dilemma: there's an obvious contest between down- and up-voters. If you look at the details, roughly half are either 1 or 10 stars.
So I implore on IMDb: please disable Turkish votes on just about anything on this subject. And I implore on the Turks responsible for these results: could you please stop abusing this website for your personal frustrations and get a life? You are fooling no one but yourselves.
About the film: I saw it a long time ago on Romanian TV. It's the only really Armenian film on the subject I know. It's not about the genocide, it's about one survivor coping with the aftermath, slowly connecting with his new wife. When their child is born in the end, he finally accepts his new life, and there just a few seconds showing how his family was killed. There are no accusations against the Turks, there is no propaganda, it's a very personal, unspectacular, even dull story.
