New York , NY

DESCRIPTION

When Two of Us Meet tells the story of a spirited family’s turbulent journey from Armenia to America in the early 20th century, emphasizing the pivotal roles of faith, hope, and love in their personal and cultural evolution.

1915: In the idyllic village of Ghasmali, Armenia, Avo and Shogho, along with their progressive teenage children, find their lives upended as tension escalates between Ottoman authorities and the Armenian people. As the shadows of tragedy loom, the family grapples with love, loss, and the pursuit of freedom.

Amidst the chaos, the story unfolds as a journey spanning the globe—from Armenia to the Republic of Georgia, then to the vibrant streets of Havana, Cuba, and finally to Los Angeles, CA. There, the family faces the immense challenge of rebuilding their fractured lives. Through relentless trials of discrimination, displacement, and separation, they forge an unyielding spirit, embodying the resilience of those who endure and triumph over adversity.
