My Review:
A gripping and emotional film, filled with hope, about a family struggling against the odds to give their family a safe place to call home, based on a true story.
Ivan and Violetta Petrosyan are Armenians living in Azerbaijan in the 1980's, but as tensions rise they are forced to live in Russia, where they face discrimination and threats as they try to raise their young family. The film was very well done, with great writing, a talented cast, and a well paced plot that poignantly told the Petrosyan's story, evocatively telling their story. The film did an excellent job of showing the plight of a family caught in a bleak situation, as well as the tensions of living in the Soviet Union. I'd heard in passing about some of the discriminations that Armenians face in Russia, but had never really understood the conflict or been exposed to much information about this time period.
A moving film, with strong themes of faith, family, and fighting for a sense of home. I genuinely enjoyed this thought provoking film, and found it to be incredibly well-done. It does a great job of realistically showing the struggles they faced, as well as the hope they found through faith. This film is also appropriate to view with your family, though likely not a fit for young kids who might not understand what is going on.
Overall, a well made film that doesn't shy away from a bold message of faith, in this re-telling of an incredible true story of hope and home. Well worth making time to go and see!
