A French photographer of Armenian descent embarks on a personal journey to trace the footsteps of her ancestor, a survivor placed in an Armenian orphanage during the 1915 Genocide. As she delves into the past, her path unexpectedly crosses with Artur, a lonely boy forced to abandon his dreams in a country where the looming shadow of war shapes every life. Their encounter weaves together memory and present, exile and belonging, revealing the enduring scars of history and the fragile hopes of a new generation.
