What is love? What is family? What are boundaries? Are these things even definable?
​
​Two wars are going on: a civil war in Syria and a war of love in the heart of Zulal Kazazian. Zulal’s childhood curse has left her childless and reeling from a youthful incestuous relationship with her uncle. As Zulal battles the demons of her past she is forced to ask: was her sexual affair something else, something more like love?
  • The Summit and The Well | Feature

What do we speak? What do we not speak and why? What does our body speak that our voice is unable to express?
​
A road film in which the crossing of borders, both literal and metaphorical, is vital to understanding our own internal boundaries and where they exist. As Yeraz, a modern, young Syrian-Armenian American, discovers her body, she experiences a sexual coming of age and healing,  understanding the interior “personal” land that was ravaged at an early age. As she does so she travels through the external landscape of present day Armenia and into the Western Armenia of the past.
