In this documentary film, spanning a period of three decades – the early 80s in France, the early 90’s in Armenia, and the early 2000s in the US, French-Armenian filmmaker Jacques Kebadian follows the fate of an Armenian family he first documented in the 1984 film Que sont mes camarades devenus… (co-directed by Serge Avedikian). We see their moods change and their homeland change around them, and later we see them leaving their homeland in the turmoil of the post-Karabakh War Armenian reality and moving to the United States.
