Ararat

Ararat is a contemporary story of two estranged families and their search for reconciliation and truth. It is also a historical reenactment (a film within a film) being made by a famous Armenian director, Edward Saroyan (Charles Aznavour), whose production is based on Clarence Ussher's actual book An American Physician In Turkey which depicts the Siege of Van, and the tragic events of 1915.
