:22:05
I'm just so shocked
to see you here.

:22:08
I've seen all your films
and I really...

:22:11
- Please. Please.
:22:12
- We're the ones
who are overwhelmed by this.

:22:14
I've been writing
this screenplay for five years,

:22:16
done as much research
as possible

:22:18
and you come up with this.
- With what?

:22:20
- Well, that Gorky was a child
during the rebellion in Van,

:22:23
that he was there.
It's amazing.

:22:25
- My mother
was a genocide survivor.

:22:28
All my life, I promised to make
a film to tell her story,

:22:33
how she suffered.
:22:35
And now,
we are making this film.

:22:38
- I'm not understanding
something.

:22:42
Is Gorky in your film?
:22:44
- Not yet.
:22:46
- As you were speaking,
we got very excited

:22:47
about the idea of working
him in. As another character.

:22:51
Well, not an entirely
new character,

:22:53
but a character
we could build on.

:22:56
See, this amazing artist
as a young kid...

:23:00
It would be great
to have you as a consultant.

:23:02
- You have her photos, a gift
:23:05
from the ashes of all
that has been destroyed.

:23:08
We can open this gift together.
:23:36
- What's going on?
:23:42
- Why did you bring up my dad?
:23:47
Well, he didn't run away.
:23:49
Okay, my mum just had to
distance herself from him.

:23:51
- Huh. To save the family.
- He wasn't a terrorist.

:23:54
- I didn't say he was.
- You said he was a terrorist.

:23:56
- Did I? Well,
:23:59
I suppose you could see it
that way.
