Screening Vodka Lemon (2003)
French – Armenian film,Director: Hiner Saleem
The story is set in a Kurdish mountain village that is still suffering the transition from Soviet union to Russian free market.
In a remote, isolated village in post-Soviet Armenia, Hamo, a widower with a pitiful pension and three worthless sons, travels daily to his wife’s grave. There he meets the lovely Nina, who is communing with her late husband. The two are penniless–she works in a local bar that is about to close down, while he has been forced to start selling his meager possessions. All seems hopelessly bleak, yet as Hamo begins to court Nina, their unexpected union revitalizes them.
