He wants to leave university and pursue his ambition of becoming a film director. His plans are complicated by his mother, who is determined to preserve Armenian culture, and his younger brother, who appears to support Areg but has another aim. The brother wants to involve him in a treasure hunt in the Armenian village of their ancestors, drawing Areg into a family conflict between his intended future and his relatives’ ties to their heritage.
