Hambik is a khachkaragordz, a master carver of khachkars, the cross-stones that have marked Armenian life for centuries. His workshop sits in downtown Yerevan, in the same place where his father carved before him. Today he works there with two friends, cutting raw stone into lace-like crosses while the city moves on around them.

Synopsis

Alex has built his whole identity around the pain of his past. Trapped in a shifting inner world where memory and reality blur, he clings to every fragment of who he was, convinced that letting go would mean losing himself. A voice keeps challenging him: acceptance is not surrender, and his suffering is a cycle he keeps choosing. When he finally wakes, he learns it was an experimental therapy inside his own mind, and that by staying too long, he has rewritten the very memories he came to save.
