Filmmaker Noura Kevorkian paints a deeply moving and beautiful portrait of her father in this gorgeous travelogue. Now suffering from late-stage Parkinson’s disease, Noura's father's silent exterior conceals a brilliant and vivid inner life filled with dreams about physics and the cosmos. There is another, less famous symptom of Parkinson’s that her father endures—intense hallucinations that send him reeling from present to past. In making this intimate film, Noura embarks on one more journey with her father. With grace and evocative imagery, she reveals the rich life hidden behind her father’s disease.
In Armenian, Arabic and English, with English subtitles.
