a film by Katja Fedulova | SWR | HR | KiKA | 2023

Thirteen-year-old Gor and his family fled to Armenia from Nagorno-Karabakh. They had to leave their home overnight, with only a few belongings, likely for good. Like many others, they fled from the Azerbaijani army. Their entire previous life was left behind as the parents locked the door of their house.
When Gor turned ten, his father taught him how to drive. Cars have been Gor’s passion ever since. However, Gor’s biggest dream is to become a hairdresser. He likes cool hairstyles.

The escape of the large family was only possible with two cars, but who would drive the second car? For Gor, it was quickly clear that he must now take responsibility. Everyone knew it wouldn’t be an easy journey. Many people were fleeing Nagorno-Karabakh and there were traffic jams lasting for hours. The journey, which normally takes three hours, took 55 hours without a break. Gor made it and the family is now in Armenia. As a reward Gor is now being trained by a celebrity hairdresser in Yerevan.
