Program Note
A love story blooms in a graveyard. Living on a pension, a widower Hamo visits his wife’s grave every day. Nina who lives on selling vodka at the small street shop visits her husband’s grave every day. There two meet and their romance begins. Just like ‘vodka lemon’ with a strange taste of almond, it is a story about the Kurds living in a strange land. Enduring the suffocating economic pressure of everyday life, they are still looking for the warmth of another human being with a unique sense of humor. In the midst of Armenian snowy landscape, there blooms the unexpected humanism. (CHO Young-jung)
