Shahen Harutyunyan was 14 years old when she decided to follow in the footsteps of his father and grandfather, who have been fighting for a free and independent Armenia for decades.

Today he is 23 years old and the leader of the Shant Alliance, a political party aiming to win national elections. In this coming-of-age story, over the course of 10 years, Shahen goes from a restless activist to a brilliant and thoughtful politician. In a context of strong social and political instability, through wars, revolts and under heavy Russian influence, his struggle for an autonomous Armenia runs parallel to a painful emancipation from his father figure.

Will Shahen Harutyunyan have the stature and strength to become the new face of Armenian politics?
