You can imagine being at a baseball game. In between innings, the camera zooms in on a happy couple; suddenly, one of them drops to one knee with a proposal of marriage on the big screen. For Nareh, this scene plays out a little differently. Her long-time boyfriend proposes filming the entire thing in a dirty beer hall with a rival reporter, including her passing out.
Embarrassed and unsure of herself, she tells him no, just as he leaves for a three-week business trip. Newly kind of single, she gives into her mother's wishes to size up Armenian men at various Armenian festivals. Nervous before entering the first event by herself, a woman approaches and invites her to go in with her. Suddenly, the festivities are much more enjoyable. While scoping the men on her Mom's list, she is more interested in Erebuni, the organizer of many of these events. Nareh had a lot of girlfriends in college, and Trevor may still want to reconcile, but she needs to follow her heart despite the fallout that can happen from her family.
A beautiful and rich story filled with culture, sexual tensions, and love. This reminds me a lot of One Last Stop. Will the neurotic and self-critical young women get the girl of her dreams?
