Short description

This documentary follows Tamara Stepanyan as she reflects on the life of her father, Vigen Stepanyan, who was a movie actor in Soviet Armenia. The film serves as a posthumous letter, blending home videos with historical cinema footage to explore Armenian film history. It examines the director's personal connection to this heritage, starting from her childhood experiences watching her father on television to her own path as a filmmaker.

Tamara Stepanyan directed the film, which is the second of two projects she released in 2025, following In the Land of Arto. The screenplay was co-written by Stepanyan and Jean-Christophe Ferrari. The production was a collaboration between companies in Armenia and France, including TS Productions, French Kiss Production, and Visan. The cast features Vigen Stepanyan in archival footage and Tamara Stepanyan as the narrator.
