Golden Apricot: Edgar Baghdasaryan's new film among Yerevan premieres
Edgar Baghdasaryan’s latest film Yasha and Leonid Brezhnev, which won several prizes at the Armenian National Film Academy’s recent Anahit Awards Ceremony, including Best Director, Best Script and Best Cinematographer, is among this year’s Yerevan premieres at the 21st Golden Apricot International Film Festival, the festival reported.
The film takes place in modern times, while the main character, a long-retired old man named Yasha, still inhabits Soviet Armenia in his mind. Yasha's fate is the tragicomic story of an ordinary Soviet worker, who has served faithfully all his life in an unpleasant production plant and now cannot come to terms with the changed realities.
