Ziazan

Little Ziazan’s uncle earns his life by shuttle trading between Turkey and Armenia. As the border between two countries is closed, each time, he has to make a 36-hour journey through Georgia.

One day, Ziazan wants to have an adventure; he would hide in uncle’s luggage, go to Turkey secretly and buy lots of chocolate cream tubes… Would he?

I remembered a game as I was waiting in the passenger lounge for the ferry to arrive just a few minutes ago. A game we used to play at home when I was young, in my country that is very far away from here, a relic from the distant past; I don’t even remember how we used to play it. The kind of game that makes me feel a thousand times lonelier than I already am among the crowd waiting to get on the ferry.
