Despite the 1994 ceasefire, there is still no real peace between Armenia and Azerbaijan, which continue to fight fiercely over the mountainous Nagorny Karabakh region. More than 25 years after the war, nationalistic passions seem as strong as ever. With our foreigner¡¯s gaze, the film offers an attentive ear, in search of understanding in these young countries with old wounds.
