Hot Country, Cold Winter

David Safarian / AM, 2016 / 104 min.

Armenian director David Safarian made a scintillating film set during the energy crisis that hit Armenia in the 1990s. A married couple struggles to cope with the absurd conditions of their life. Will the adversities unite the family and the country or tear them apart?

Safarian tells a story of perseverance and hope, presenting it in a visual framework full of contrast: past and present, darkness and light, cold and heat.
