Broken Childhood
2013, Armenian. Directed by Jivan Avetisyan.
This film is about a six year old Lena, who was captured by the Azeri`s during the Kharabakh war back in 1992. The girl was taken to an Azeri woman Fatima Khala, in a goal to be exchanged with her lost son. During this time the fear and the revulsion changed to a mutual charity and the result of this is that Fatima sends Lena back to her family after 4 months, exchanging her with a body of an Azeri soldier unknown to her. In Lena's memories, Fatima is still waiting for her son.
