In the aftermath of one war and on the precipice of another, four women build a life with the hope of making their home a better place. They live in the Republic of Artsakh, an unrecognized country in the south Caucasus that is home to ethnic Armenians yet violently contested by Azerbaijan. Director Emily Mkrtichian’s loving and meditative multigenerational portrait of Artsakh womanhood takes a turn when war breaks out again. From taking up arms on the front lines to fleeing their homes as refugees, we watch as each woman’s life changes irrevocably. Their journey becomes the myth of a homeland lost forever, and the power of story to keep it alive.
