Synopsis

In 1921, a shipload of Armenian refugees arrive in Marseilles, hoping to begin a new life. These include six-year-old Azad Zakarian, his father Hagop, his mother Araxi and his two aunts Anna and Gayané. They are the survivors of a genocide perpetrated by the Turkish army against the Armenian people in 1915. In spite of the difficulties they face, financial hardship and racism, Azad’s parents are prepared to do everything they can to ensure that their son has a decent education and can make a successful future for himself in his adopted country...
