Maestro

Directed by Vigen Chaldranyan

With Michael Poghosian, Karen Dzhanibekyan, Eka Horstka, Avet Barseghyan and Eduard Topchjan

Relegated to the background in the brutal times of a transitional period, the Maestro, who is a devotee of art, an advocate of moral standards, a cellist of a symphonic orchestra, a professor of a conservatory, unable to withstand the prevailing wildness, has inevitable clashes with the environment and experiences a heavy personal drama. Archival footage of protests preceding and following the 2008 Armenian presidential elections are used in the film.
