Armenian tales often forgo the Westernised ‘once upon a time’ to begin with ‘there was, there was not’. That is also the starting point of this illuminating doc about a country that lingers between two wars, home to four women who find themselves reckoning with their national past while looking for strength to fight for its future.
From a local politician to a hopeful athlete, There Was, There Was Not piercingly looks at the role of women in life — and conflict — as another war erupts and the countrywomen must once again fight for survival.
