The Eternal Red

As a one-armed man unwillingly carries himself up the stairs to an exhibition hall, where the title on the poster reads “WAR: The Eternal Red”, spectators browse around photographs depicting all the horrors of war. Some are shocked, some indifferent, while others discuss the art of the photos, but not the contents. Feeling uncomfortable in all of this, the one-armed man, however, gets fixated on a single image, featuring the exchange of prisoners. He is one of those prisoners. As he coldly scans the photo, beside him he notices a man, scanning him with the same look in his eyes.

Robinzon?

Marianna Movsesyan
Armenia / 2025 / 0:19:24

Vardan is a lonely man in his fifties. He lives alone in an old apartment and works as a security guard. Every morning, he carefully sets the table, eats a boiled egg with tea, puts on a freshly ironed blue shirt, and goes to work. At work, every day is the same — surveillance screens and a colleague constantly solving crosswords. Vardan spends his days watching other people’s lives unfold, while remaining apart, on the other side of the screen, like a Robinson on his own island. His only companion is a goldfish in an aquarium. One day, he notices a woman dancing alone in an empty library on one of the monitors. She awakens something inside him. From that moment on, he begins to watch her every day. He thinks about her constantly, even sees her in his dreams. Finally, he decides to go to her —and finds himself on the other side of the screen he had been staring at for so many years.
