| description | This film portrays two women in Armenia. One protagonist is a divorcee who, forced to give up her career as an artist during her marriage, finds freedom, happiness, and creative expression in her new life; she struggles, however with social stigma and being labeled as a social outcast. The other is a widow who, nostalgic for her late husband, believes that women's happiness lies in the patriarchal male-headed household where women are homemakers. Despite their conflicting opinions, both find strength in themselves and their work, as they raise their families as single mothers. This film is part of the Gender Montage: Films from Post-Soviet Space film series. The film has both English and Russian subtitles.
