This is Maria, who lives in a border village in Armenia. As a child, she has experienced war and the anguish of losing her family. It is through her eyes and her voice that we discover the lives of six other “characters” of the film, all living at the border: how do these people live, how do they endure the confinement within the country’s borders during this continuing conflict ? Under the magnificence of the landscape, in the heart of Caucasus, we can feel the constant threat of cold war. The villagers have learned to live with the sound of reports, while knowing that the next bullet may be for them: everyday life may never forget the threat of war. Yet a spirit of life prevails: resident forever, forever. This film addresses the current state of the world and humanity, under the thrust of violence, particularly powerful in these border areas.
