In 1921, a shipload of Armenian refugees arrive in Marseilles, hoping
to begin a new life. These include six-year-old Azad Zakarian,

himself in his adopted country...

Great!!! World humanity, recognizes undeniable events of 1915 and
predicts its repetition!! It was a genocide.

Wonderful film!!! This film relates to human kind. It makes us to think about such values as motherhood, justice, true love towards people and homesickness!!! It’s a rare film! Tatev (Armenia)
