In the Land of Arto

Grieving the loss of her husband, Céline must travel to Armenia to finalize the legal paperwork of his death. She finds out that Arto, despite years of marriage, had secretly changed his identity. As she slowly discovers and forgives, she rehabilitates a ghost she learns to love again. Tamara Stepanyan offers Camille Cottin one of her most moving roles, exploring truth, redemption, and the persistence of love. The filmmaker also weaves an essay between tension and drama on the lingering trauma of war and the quiet dignity of Armenia revealing itself on screen.
