Synopsis
The story is about Oscar, an Armenian actor who dreamed of going to Hollywood and becoming a celebrity for many years. Now he won a Green Card Lottery, and it seems his long-standing dream came true! But the good-bye party given for him by his teenage friends takes a completely different path: as a result, everything changes and chain of unpredicted and absurd events brings to a tragedy.
The youth living in Armenia today is the kid of 1990s who grew up in a period when the country was trying to survive without losing its individuality.
Being a part of USSR and not having independence through ages, after the collapse of USSR, Armenia found itself in a real chaos.
The heroes of our film are those very kids who saw earthquake and war, dark years and endless queues for a slice of black bread.
And today they live in a developing and prospering Armenia,they have got higher education and try to find their place in the society. Each of them is a bright individuality with his viewpoint and position.
