From Ararat to Zion

2009 · ★ 8.0 · Documentary

The mosaic of Christian pilgrimage to the Holy Land has been shaped during two thousand years. The pilgrims have brought along their stories and left their sacred memories here. The film authors are trying to read the essential pages of those stories and reveal some precious aspects of self-identity. They follow the footprints of Armenian pilgrims between two focal points of human history- from the summit of Mount Ararat to Zion, from A to Z.

Directed by Edgar Baghdasaryan · Written by Mesrop Aramian

Yasha recently retired after serving many years at a factory, with a highlight of his career being a delegate of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union in 1976. Yet his future is left unknown when he emerges in new realities that he finds difficult to accept. The world has changed after the collapse of the Soviet Union, yet he tries to hold on to what once was. Thus enters former Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev. Appearing like Yasha’s alter ego, he guides Yasha, giving amusing commentary and voicing what Yasha should say or do. Brezhnev’s presence gives way for more historical leaders that Yasha idolises to arrive. Nicolae and Elena Ceausescu, Fidel Castro and Che Guevara, Josip Broz Tito and Erich Honecker, and even the African dictator Jean Bedel-Bokassa all make an appearance! When Yasha takes an oath of loyalty to them, this creates trouble for his family.
