Manyunya: Childhood of the Ba

Synopsis

The first half of the twentieth century. Rosa's family moves to Berd to start from scratch and harmoniously integrate into the measured and centuries-old way of life of the picturesque Armenian village. The move itself becomes a huge challenge for the family: the road is full of chaos, and the new house turns out to be old and lopsided. But no matter what, little Rose is very happy to be in Berda, because now she will be inseparable from her cousin Faye. Rosa's parents are gradually settling in: mother Maria dreams of getting a job at a local school, which Rosa is trying to prevent with all her might, and father Joseph, despite eternal failures, comes up with one clever scam after another. In the village, the sisters Rosa and Faye are joined by the local boy Hamlet, and the inseparable trio immediately get into a whirlwind of adventures, causing a real commotion around them.
