Armat / Արմատ / Korenine

Élodie Dermange (Nadasdy Film, RTS Radio Télévision Suisse)
2022, Switzerland, 11’

Élodie tries to find out more about her family's Armenian origins. She interviews her father, her uncle, her great aunt, and discovers a harsh history where violence and the inability to express love are passed down from generation to generation.

Elodie želi izvedeti več o armenskih koreninah svoje družine. Prek pogovorov z očetom, stricem in prateto odkrije kruto preteklost, v kateri se nasilje in nezmožnost izražanja ljubezni prenašata iz roda v rod.
