I did not feel totally French, but I did not feel fully Armenian either. On making a journey back in timeI discovered that in 1915 my great grandfather survived the Armenian Genocide thanks to a Kurdish peasant. I’ve understood that my Armenian roots were deeply connected with my work as a movie director. On the work of a movie directorFor me the most important thing in movie-making is not the topic. Through this film inspired by true stories, I want to give this “ghost country” the consideration it deserves.
