Freedom is a state of mind.

A bittersweet drama about an Armenian-American's search for identity and belonging, complicated by Soviet oppression and redeemed through an unexpected human connection forged across prison walls.

In 1948, decades after fleeing Armenia to the US as a child, Charlie returns in the hopes of finding a connection to his roots, but what he finds instead is a country crushed under Soviet rule. After being unjustly imprisoned, Charlie falls into despair, until he discovers that he can see into a nearby apartment from his cell window - the home of a prison guard.
