Summary
In 1921, a shipload of Armenian refugees arrive in Marseilles, hoping to begin a new life.  These include six-year-old Azad Zakarian, his father Hagop, his mother Araxi and his two aunts Anna and Gayané.   They are the survivors of a genocide perpetrated by the Turkish army against the Armenian people in 1915.  In spite of the difficulties they face, financial hardship and racism, Azad’s parents are prepared to do everything they can to ensure that their son has a decent education and can make a successful future for himself in his adopted country...

Great!!! World humanity, recognizes undeniable events of 1915 and predicts its repetition!! It was a genocide.
Astghik Khachatrian (Armenia)  

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!
