Description

2025, Armenia, 11 min.

Together Alone portrays the life of Shura and Ofelya, an elderly couple who lived together in isolation for nearly fifty years in a small house detached from the outside world. The film begins after Ofelya’s death and gradually moves backward through time, where memory, silence, and space merge into a single emotional reality. Time unfolds in a circular and sometimes frozen way. The house itself becomes a living archive of memory, carrying traces of absence and existence through its silent objects, worn walls, and empty rooms. Through static imagery and the blending of past footage with Shura’s present-day life, the film explores loneliness, memory, and the invisible continuation of shared existence.

Hamlet is an ordinary office worker struggling to overcome the loss of his beloved. On the surface, he seems to have come to terms with it, mechanically moving through his days and doing what is expected of him. Beneath this routine, however, anger and resentment toward the world continue to grow, eventually driving him to a series of irreversible destructive acts. Inspired by the themes of Jean-Paul Sartre.

Paid Mourners follows a family of professional mourners, where the unique trade is passed down through the women of the household. Sixteen-year-old Margo, however, has other plans. A rising TikTok star, she has no interest in continuing this decidedly unglamorous tradition. Her resolve is put to the test when her grandmother, Bavo, announces she has only one week to live. With Margo's mother absent, the responsibility of inheriting the family legacy falls squarely on her shoulders. Determined to pass on the mantle, Bavo has only seven days to help Margo prepare for the role she was born to take.

Minas leaves the village behind, disappearing into the fog.
