We call those suffering from a melancholy of eternity “eternals”. Convinced that death can no longer triumph over their lives, they believe they are doomed to walk the earth aimlessly until the day they are finally freed from their suffering. This film tells a tale of wandering and escape on the frontiers of Nagorno-Karabakh, an Armenian enclave in Azerbaijan The characters in this film are like ghosts, haunted by the genocide and by the conflict that has been raging in their region for over twenty years, carrying this eternal melancholy inside them.
