Shahen, his father Shant and grandfather Shahen Senior belong to three generations of Armenian political activists and dissidents. By closely following the dynamics of this family, the father-son relationships and the changing political context, we explore and narrate the dilemmas and obstacles of a country. When and why stick to one's ideals? When instead to follow inherited traditional values? Shahen's personal conflicts translate into the political arena, and allow for parallels between his emotional struggle and Armenia's quest for autonomy and stability. Along his path, he will be called upon to face trauma and remorse, to overcome those who came before him, to find his place in the family legacy, and finally to imagine a new history for his country.
