In this moving doc, four women in the Republic of Artsakh try to rebuild their lives and homes in the aftermath of war—until renewed conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan threatens to uproot them once again.

After the film, director Emily Mkrtichian will join us for a remote Q&A, moderated by filmmaker Stephanie Ayanian.
