MLECZNY BRAT
MILKY BROTHER
Vahram Mkhitaryan / Poland / 2014 / 30 min / Colour
Italian premiere
Young Seto lives in a village in Armenia. As tradition dictates, he transfers his desire to have a brother to a shred of cloth tied to a bramble. His mother is pregnant, but his brother dies right after his birth. The emptiness he feels due to this loss will be filled by his friendship with a little lamb, which Seto tries to protect in every way.
