''Still in those deserts''
It's interesting how history returns to the same place after making so many circles on the surface of time...
The film centers around the story of Arin, a descendant of an Armenian genocide survivor. Reliving the pain of her ancestors and the longing for her historical homeland, she notices the echoes of the pain in the present, realizing that history tends to repeat itself.
With her thoughts still in those deserts, the heroine tries to visualize her trauma and questions the Armenian identity, giving shape to her personal memories and the collective national memories around her.
