Tonratun
The Armenian History Told by Women
Inna Mkhitaryan
2022 - 84 min - HDV - Couleur - Arménie, France

In an Armenian village, five women – who are daughters, mothers and grandmothers – from several generations debate together about life and war while they prepare lavash, the Armenian traditional bread.
Tonratun (bakery) is a space where women can talk openly about things considered shameful or embarrassing in Armenian society with a patriarchal tradition. While men are away, they talk to each other near the fire and mix their tears with the flour. Their words and their laughs are now their daily bread.
