ABOUT THE FILM: In Armenian with English subtitles In this heartwarming comedy, two filmmakers (Armen and Raffi), from Los Angeles, go to Yerevan, Armenia to shoot a feature length movie about a third generation American Armenian who goes to Yerevan to adopt a 12-year-old. Teaming up with a local impresario (Rubo), the team begins the arduous task of casting for the parts, scouting locations and securing the last leg of the funding. What seems to be a perfect plan becomes a perfect storm of absurd meetings, unexpected discoveries and hysterical events, which come together to sabotage the project.
