LEVON: A Wondrous Life

LEVON is a 60-year-old rollerblader living exuberantly in the post-Soviet landscape of Yerevan, Armenia. He is aware of the struggles his people face, and understands why they are emigrating in droves. But that doesn't change his enduring belief in and contentment with the simple magic of being alive.

[@sasharaek]

очень хороший фильм. Видела Левона Абгаряна (язык не поворачивается назвать его дедушкой) в последние минуты в Ереване, когда неслась на такси в аэропорт... A very good doc. I could see Levon whom I resist to call a dedushka :) roller-blading right on the roadway when was leaving Erevan for the airport...

Mihran Markarian I wonder why some people get soooooooo nervous when somebody mixes turkish and armenian

[@surenasilbekyan7640]

Mihran Markarian Nobody honest want insult Turkey, come on!!!We have roots there, emotional connections, ancestors, history, common things, etc. If we, Armenians and Turksih don't insult each other we could sit at the table and talk, and discussing the history clearly. After all, we always were the most Loyal Nation into Ottoman Empire and in Turkey, after Turks obviously. Armenians are part of Turkey, not "others", as seperated people.
