Cèline arrives in Armenia for the first time, intending to formalise the death of her husband Arto. She discovers, however, that he has lied to her: he fought in the war under a false identity, and his former comrades consider him a deserter. In an attempt to piece together Arto’s past, Cèline embarks on a new journey: the maimed from the battles of 2020, the veterans of the victories of the 1990s, the shadows of a conflict that seems never-ending. A woman chases a ghost. But how does one bury what keeps coming back? And can the dead truly be saved?
