Armenia's candidate for best foreign language Oscar is Natalia Belyauskene's "If Only Everyone," a film about how in war there are no winners.
Dedicated to the 20th anniversary of the Caucasian country's independence, the film is set during the Artsakh war -- the bitter conflict between Armenia and neighboring Azerbaijan over secession region Nagorno-Karabakh in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
Made with the support of Armenia's president, Serzh Sargsyan, the film's producer, Michael Poghosyan, says he hopes it can serve as a means of reconciliation.
Любая война рано или поздно заканчивается, а потом начинается… МИР… Мир в котором мы живем… Кто-то с мыслями о прошлом, кто-то с мыслями о будущем… Ну, а кто-то возвращаясь в прошлое очищается в настоящем…
