Incredibly emotional film, one of the best movies in the history
A very impressive film about Armenian family escaping Armenian genoside in 1915
A film which shows the whole horibility of genocide (without any big bloody scenes of that) and how a nation have overcome that with it's generations.It's a film about true Armenian family values,about hope and love,about willingness to live and to create!!!
This is a very moving film about the big tragedy of the Armenian people who were slaughtered in millions by the turks in 1915, or rather about the ones who escaped and who after seeing their whole families murdered, had to make a life in a foreign country, while trying to deal with the past, or at least not to let the past destroy them. Superb acting from Claudia Cardinale, Omar Shariff, Isabelle Sadoyan and Nathalie Roussel. It goes in the line with films like "La Gloire de mon pere" and " le chateau de ma mere". Giving a very good description of what was life was in the South of France at the beginning of the centuries, and what were the people expectations (at least, that is how I feel it). If you are expecting violence and gore, that is not what you will get here. Also, let us not forget that the "Armenian Genocide" has never been acknowledged by the Turkish Government, and was only recognised last year by the French one.

This movie is about an Armenian family who was forced to leave his homeland in order to escape certain death from Turkish army during Armenian Genocide in Ottoman Empire. This movie is a masterpiece not only because it is based on real happenings and that with the story of one family it represents the story of survival of the whole nation but also because it shows, in a very sensitive way, the life of one man from his difficult but happy childhood until the very heights of his successful career. It demonstrates that the care and unity within family are the cornerstones of the happiness, even when you pass through the hardest times. It is about the sacrificial care and boundless love of every Father and every Mother for their child. And nothing is more important for a person in his life than to make his parents proud and happy.
