An American geographer working in Armenia/Karabakh hooks up with a local woman who travels with him, translates, becomes his lover. He is a constricted jerk...she is more forthcoming and open but like all of us carries some baggage. The question is...do we care about these people?
The film starts off very badly with several minutes of light effects a la 2001 overlaid with pretentious voiceover. It reverts to this mode sporadically throughout. It baffles me what they thought this added to the mix. I found it pointlessly irritating.
Splendid scenery and a nice introduction to a part of the world that gets little exposure in the west. As a film...a mixed bag.
