Maria Saakyan : 2012
Alaverdi
Fourteen-year-old Evridika lives with her mother, Sona, in the small Armenian town of Alaverdi. Sona is the conductor of a world-famous choir consisting of fifteen men. She is always away from home, so Evridika feels neglected and lonely in her own small virtual world. Each day she goes deeper inside herself, looking for answers to the questions posed by her blossoming sexuality. What is love and lust? Life and death? Who is her father? All these questions had never been answered and Evridika sees no reasons to live until she meets Petr, an ex-lover of her mother Sona, who had a romantic relationship with her years ago. This meeting becomes the key point in a transformation of Evridika's perception of the world, giving rise to unforeseen consequences and parallels. Reflecting the different dimensions of love, Maria Saakyan's second feature explores a dream world of images and poetry, in which the stunning Armenian landscape also plays its role.
