In 1981 Paris, Aram, a young man of Armenian origin, blows up the Turkish ambassador's car wounding a passing cyclist. "The Snows of Kilimanjaro" director delivers another insightful political film about the Armenian struggle that's screening in honor of the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide.

Going from "The Snows of Kilimanjaro" to the Armenian issue, Marseilles-born Robert Guédiguian takes us back to 1981 Paris. Aram, a young man of Armenian origin, blows up the Turkish ambassador's car seriously wounding Gilles, a passing cyclist. The perpetrator escapes to Beirut and joins the Armenian Liberation Army, while Gilles travels to Marseilles looking for him and his family. The parallel stories unfold in a truly insightful political drama about the Armenian struggle, screening in honor of the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide.
