Based on a true story, this is a subtle tale of re-affirmation of the identity of the artist following the Armenian Diaspora. It is an encounter with his alter-ego, a dialogue with his own conscience, a gradual dawning of the truth and an authentic glance at life... themes understandable by all. The film is an episode in the life of the director, a life full of surprises, and all the more so for being a cosmopolitan Armenian-American now standing on his native soil, his ultimate source of creative energy and ideas.

A film about the great Komitas, one of the victims of the Armenian Genocide, who wasn't killed, but went crazy and kept silence for 20 years

In April (Armenia 1985), on the 70th anniversary of the genocide, on April 24, 1985, Vigen Chaldranyan stages a conversation between the generations in a mixture of comedy and bitter seriousness.

Relegated to the background in the brutal times of a transitional period, the Maestro, who is a devotee of art, an advocate of moral standards, a cellist of a symphonic orchestra, a professor of a conservatory, unable to withstand the prevailing wildness, has inevitable clashes with the environment and experiences a heavy personal drama. Archival footage of protests preceding and following the 2008 Armenian presidential elections are used in the film.

The time of major social changes and social upheavals inevitably entails a chain of personal dramas and tragedies. The hero of the film is an actor and director, a Yerevan resident, for whom the priority of the Spirit over the physical "I" is an axiom. Life without serving art, reduced to a struggle for survival, is unacceptable to him.
