Directed by Michael Aloyan • 2023 • Armenia

Michael Aloyan’s quietly provocative short lifts the lid on the simmering tensions lying just beneath the surface of domestic life in the Armenian diaspora of Los Angeles. During a family gathering, two boys embark on a series of escalating games that will trouble the norms of their well to-do household. Featuring the inimitable Karren Karagulian, star of Sean Baker’s The Florida Project and Tangerine.
