Description

The first Armenian film after independence presented in Cannes Film Festival 2021, (Competition programs). The film was shot entirely in Artsakh, particularly in its capital Stepanakert and nearby airport before the war. The director takes us on a journey to discover Artsakh, it’s timeless scenery and its inhabitants who fight daily for the recognition of their state. Film director Nora Martirosyan describes the movie: “The main character of the film is a country, a country that didn’t have a legal existence, but which was there in front of my camera to host the story that it inspired me ‘Should the wind drop’. But the wind didn’t drop, it became a storm that took away lives, hopes, future. Today the film witnesses the peaceful life and broken dreams”.
