1994 - Russie - Noir & Blanc - 140'
An immersion into the world of beggars, the excluded and the marginalised. Men, women and children with distorted bodies walk the streets in search of a little sustenance. They are captured and followed in the streets of Chișinău, Moldavia by Aristakisian who films them frontally, walking ahead of them or catching up to them as if driven by an impulse, the necessity to deliver, in a letter addressing a son yet unborn, a mystical and visionary chant, calling on the listener to oppose the “system” and to join the resisting “body” of the poor.
