    • Synopsis
    • The workplace of the protagonist Arman determines the value system of people: all the precious memories of humanity are reproduced there: weddings, “love stories”, births of children, corporate holidays, and documentaries about ancestors. With the removal of this material, Arman becomes an indirect “murder of all Life, all Being” However, on the other hand, the fact that this kind of video is almost never watched some time after recording means the transience and fragility of life and our values.
      The characters that Armand meets become his companions, creating a kind of kaleidoscope of life. Each of them represents in some way a piece of the truth - as in Rumi's metaphor "truth is like pieces of a broken mirror".
