Barsam, Anna’s father, is seriously ill. Before he dies, he would like to bequeath his daughter something: he would like to teach her doubt. As he flees to Armenia, he leaves many clues behing him for Anna to find him. This obliged journey in an unknown country will become for Anna what her father expected it to be : an initiatory journey, a sentimental training, a brand new adolescence…
It’s in a little village, lost in Caucasian mountains, that she finally finds him, seated under an abricot tree in blossom…
She will doubt her identity, her love, her commitments… | Guediguian, Robert Robert Guédiguian (born 03.12.1953, Marseilles, France)
