        What stays with me is the obvious empathy and sorrow shared between the Armenian family and the old, old turkish lady.

            These villages seem so poor and undeveloped. It really makes you wonder if they are not cursed or something. When you look at the old pictures and maps, it almost seems like they were more developed and modern 90 years ago then than thay are now.

              Almost all the villages in eastern part of Turkey are like that. Unfortunately!

                And something not translated: Old lady mentions about Turkish soldiers repeating the "genderme" word (jandarma in Turkish, cenderme in peasant saying).

                  You can see in her eyes and body that she remembers something, something terrible and something she's perhaps rarely, if ever, spoken about.

                    Also translator man doesnt talk about that visitor family are Armenian. He says "They migrated from here to America in 1890 and looking for their grandparents house". Just this!

                    As if they migrated voluntarily... But the old lady understands everything.
