An autobiographical documentary film that goes beyond the barriers of the genre and is something between videoart, experimental film and home video and seeks to throw light on the consequences of the Armenian genocide of 1915, which forced the director´s family to emigrate to France. In the spirit of Brecht´s theory of art, Khazarian frees himself from reality, combining in the film amateur films about his own family and contemporary footage from the battlefield in Nagorny Karabakh. His film is not a recapitulation of historical fact, but rather a visual meditation on the fetishist aesthetics of war, diverse sexual orientations and the consequences of emigration. The film deals very ingeniously with topics such as war, destruction and sexuality, which, in the director´s view are indissolubly linked.
