Armenia

Directed by Robert Guédiguian

With Ariane Ascaride, Jean-Pierre Darroussin, Simon Abkarian, Serge Avédikian and Gérard Meylan

This is a story about returning to ones ancestral homeland. Anna is a cardiologist who discovers her father has fled to his native Armenia after being diagnosed with a heart problem. Despite their contentious relationship, she sets out to bring her father back for this operation. Anna is a tough-minded, headstrong woman with little feeling for her fathers homeland or patience with its politics and socially intrusive culture, yet she finds this journey not only a reunion of sorts, but one of reconciliation as well.
