Synopsis

Robert Sternvall (50 years old), a German journalist, returns to Artsakh in 2016 to cover the war which has been reignited after a 22-year ceasefire. As the result of his journalistic investigation, Robert meets Sophia Marti (35 years old), a young opera singer, who happens to be the daughter of missing photojournalist Edgar Martirosyan, whom Robert abandoned in captivity during the fall of the village of Talish in 1992. Robert and Sophia’s frequent rendezvouses ignite a passionate romance. The trailer is available here.
