Set during the time period of the Armenian Genocide of 1915, Traces is about the conflict between Turkish soldiers and an Armenian family of farmers living in the mountains.
A pair of Turkish soldiers, BERK and SONER, approach a hidden home in the valley of mountains. They inform the inhabiting family that an oncoming war is coming their way and they must leave their homes for their own safety. The father, VAHAN, is unwilling to go but reluctantly agrees to leave alongside his wife, KHONARH, and their two children, the hotheaded NISHAN and quiet ANOUSH.
As they travel to the first checkpoint, they find an empty village that has been completely decimated as to not leave a trace. Conflicting viewpoints and general bickering between the soldiers and the father lead to several confrontational moments. The power shifts when both Berk and Vahan are accidentally killed. Forced into survival, Nishan must make difficult decisions if he is to avenge the pain and suffering the soldiers have brought upon his family.

September 2, 2011Juan Salvati Dear Raffi,
September 29, 2009Congrats on your many professional achievements,
I wholeheartedly embrace the idea of courageously unearthing the Truth no matter how hard and painful. I'm coming from a generation that knows by heart too well -yet miraculously survived- one of the most bloody times in Latin American History. The amazing, remarkable Armenian-Argentine community can confirm my words. I'd LOVE to have a one-on-one, friendly
yet professional conversation with you in The City in order to explore viable paths of artistic collaboration. Please advice.
Kindest,
Long Life & Theatre!

Robin O'Rourke This does sound like a powerfull story of triumpth, loss, survival, and morality.
September 14, 2008I really would like to know more.
Christine Koop Although there might be some historical facts not in it as cagwa critizized - who knows what the whole script tells - I would love to see this as a movi - a boy who is forced to survive. And also I think there is much nature in it as well as the soldiers lives and deaths in former times.
August 20, 2008cagwa The Armenian genocide has been denied by the Turks, just as some claim the Nazis never exterminated Jews. This is an important and controversial topic that hasn't been explored in film and should. Amazing to me that no one has even attempted it yet.
