Lost Paradise (1991)

Partizak is a village where the off-springs of the Genocide refugees from the Western Armenia live. There, on the other side of biblical Ararat, their village was also called Partizak. A few people still live who saw the other side, who saw "Yergir" - the Native Country. Old Mkhitar is one of them. This symbolic, religion-inflected drama is about Mkhitar's family. Through this story about a remote village and a rural family the director manages to reflect the story of the Armenian nation.
