The movie is made of images found in the czarist archives of the massacre of the Armenians, which took place in 1915, in the Eastern part of Turkey. This is the first mass extermination of the century. In the cities, in the villages, in the monasteries. Fire, smoke, dust, destruction. Atrocities, pain. The survivors can only fled. This is the beginning of the Armenian wanderings around the four corner of the earth. There is no coming back.
