A REAL STORY
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.
