The Eternals

Human beings who have experienced such a strong shock that they are no longer even afraid of death as it often happens to genocide survivors sometimes fall into what is known as a feeling of timelessness or a melancholy They live somewhat outside time a mode of extratemporal existence waiting for the day on which they will be freed from their suffering It is the people almost ghosts having survived the conflict in NagornoKarabakh between Armenians and Azerbaijani that has lasted for almost twenty years that the filmmaker shows and listens to in his film Behind them behind their wandering bodies behind their frenzies is what remains of the collapse of the Soviet Union in Caucasus ruins uninhabited spaces tombs vestiges of war trenches where soldiers watch for an invisible enemy
