The Journey

2003 | Drama

Synopsis

The year is 1991. The Soviet Union has collapsed and Armenia is at the threshold of her independence. It has been ten years since twenty-three-year-old Eve left her homeland and emigrated to New York City with her parents. Eve struggles to pursue her passion as a photographer while waitressing at nights. However, amidst the ever continuous vitality of America, Eve yearns for stillness that will soothe her soul. Tragedy strikes, transforming her dreams into nightmares. Eve learns that in Armenia her childhood friend, Arman, has been killed. Unexpectedly she gets called on an assignment to photograph the events taking place in the Caucasus and finds herself on a journey that changes her life. Facing her past both culturally and emotionally, Eve finds herself caught up in the independence movement of Armenia and the crisis of committing to a man, whom she falls in love with.
