Description
Summary:Coproduction: Azerbaijan and Armenia. Verzio Film Festival Submission 2007. Up until the Nagorno-Karabagh conflict, the inhabitants of the villages depicted in the documentaries enjoyed normal relations with interpersonal, interfamilial and economic ties. Those ties were abruptly and tragically broken by the war. Former friends and associates were drawn into the hostilities, often unaware of the hurt that their bullets and bombes caused to their neighbors on the other side of the border. 12 years into the ceasefire, the inhabitants of both villages pause to reflect on the friendship and enmmity, war and peace, and the possibility of a clean state leading to coexistence.
