Synopsis
"There Was a Sea" – A Collection of Memories from a "Past Life" For some, a "past life" means childhood; for others, it is marked by moving out of an old apartment or relocating from Russia to Armenia. Sometimes, memory preserves strange and unremarkable moments: a cloudy day at a summer house, the setting sun reflecting off dusty shop windows, or a nighttime courtyard on the outskirts of a city. Animation helps blur the line between how we remember these places and how they really were.
