"The Yearning"
Tragic events in Armenian history are echoed in this
incisive film released during the country's first year of post-Soviet
independence. Arakel Aloyan, a survivor of the 1915 genocide, has built a
new life with his family in Soviet Armenia. Still, he longs to once again
see his home village, now a part of Turkey. His nostalgic yearning pulls him
across the Soviet border to visit the tombs of his parents, but the Soviet
government views his journey as a potential act of treason for which Arakel
and his family will pay a terrible price. Armenian with English subtitles.
137 minutes. |
