SYNOPSIS
A 4000-year-old aquatic monster resists falling into oblivion, it now lives in the tales of the few. Its myth dates back to the ancestors of Armenians and Kurds around Lake Van, a region that witnessed the ethnic cleansing of both peoples. On the crossroads of mythological, political and personal realms, different forms of erasure are concealed. Though here, where even monsters are political, the topography has its own memory. Meanwhile, old gods are upset with us, and I am upset with my father.
