Rural Armenia: In a rustic hut, five women are baking bread. In the process, conversations arise about their lives as women in a patriarchal society, about war and genocide, and the different perspectives of the generations. The kneading and beating of the dough, which is captured in shots lasting several minutes, seems like a catalyst for coming to terms with one’s own history.
