ArmInfo. To defend their debut film projects at the Russian Ministry of Culture, Robert Def's film "Walter" based on the Karabakh conflict was presented, Rossiyskaya Gazeta reports.
It is made by producer Katerina Mikhailova, whose studio has just released a notable debut, "This Is Not Forever," telling the stories of children from orphanages. The film "Walter" takes place in the 90s of the last century. The main character – the picture is named after him – is working in Moscow, works as a foreman at a construction site. The tragic news forces her to return to her homeland, in Nagorno-Karabakh, in order to save or bury her mother. "This is an ode to filial love," the authors of the picture told experts. At the airport, Walter is met by the son of a deceased friend (whose mother and grandmother were missing), and together they gradually go through the path in search of relatives. History develops against the backdrop of the Karabakh conflict, in military conditions. The farther, the more Walter has to deal with what is happening in his homeland …
Walter is a blue-eyed, fair-haired Armenian. During the Soviet Union, military units were located in Nagorno-Karabakh, where there were many Russians, so many fair-haired Karabakh people appeared as a result of mixing blood. The theme of the film is not simple, and experts pointed this out. But it is encouraging that the debutants come out of the usual circle of events and try to make a bright, unique statement. The main role in the film will be played by the younger brother of the famous actor, the star of the film "Taxi" Sami Naseri – Bibi Naseri. He himself is an actor, screenwriter, director and producer, who has already managed to declare himself in several works – such as "13 district", "Aisha", "Hornet's Nest", "Free Fall" and others.
