Synopsis:
The four people introduced by Aren Malakyan and Vahagn Khachatryan in their debut feature-length film embody the contrasting faces of Armenia today. Some of them are making plans for the future that might even be realised, others strive for seemingly unattainable ideals. What unites them all is the dream of a self-determined life – a near-impossibility in a country where the government tries to control everything and everyone.
Melania, in her mid-sixties, works as a lift operator in a Yerevan hospital and longs for a late career as a cosmonaut. In a way, she seems to be an anachronistic remnant of the Soviet age. The deep country, still ruled by ancient traditions and ideas of happiness, is represented by the farmer Karen, who is looking for the best of all possible wives. And Amasia and Sona own the night over the roofs of the capital. They are part of a new generation ready to fight for a future in which some liberties can be obtained despite a suffocating patriarchy. Occasionally amused, but never judgmental, the two filmmakers watch their native country dream.(Lina Dinkla)
Inhalt:
Anhand von vier Personen, die ihre Träume verwirklichen wollen, zeichnen sich drei Ebenen Armeniens ab, die einander nicht berühren: In den Resten eines urbanen Sowjetismus treffen wir die Aufzugpilotin eines Krankenhauses, die von Reisen ins Weltall träumt, den Bauern, der auf der Suche nach der perfekten Ehefrau ist und dadurch Einblicke in die weiterhin vom Patriarchat dominierten ländlichen Gegenden liefert und schliesslich die jungen feministischen und queer Frauen, die als Symbol der auch hier angekommenen Umbrüche der westlichen Gesellschaften auf Emanzipation drängt und einfach nur ihr Leben leben möchte. (Émilie Bujès)
