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.
