The film was originally meant to be a documentary about the children born from a 2008 mass wedding celebrating Armenia's independence, but events forced the director to shift the focus to the impact of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict on the youth.
The film's young protagonist, Vreg, goes through a powerful emotional and psychological journey, starting as a pacifist but becoming a patriot for Armenia after being forced to flee his home during the war with Azerbaijan.
