D’une part, 1937,<strong>en</strong> plein apogée <strong>de</strong>s purges stalini<strong>en</strong>nes à Erevan, <strong>en</strong> Arménie alorssoviétique, année <strong>de</strong> l’arrestation <strong>du</strong> père <strong>de</strong> Nora Dabagian, opposantpolitique. D’autre part, 2006, le récit circonstancié <strong>de</strong> cette arrestationpar la vieille femme, dénommée affectueusem<strong>en</strong>t Baboulia, ettrès jeune fille alors. Question t<strong>en</strong><strong>du</strong>e <strong>en</strong>tre ces <strong>de</strong>ux faces : comm<strong>en</strong>ttransmettre, quelles images, quels mots, quelles s<strong>en</strong>sations ?Apparemm<strong>en</strong>t <strong>de</strong>ux parties clairem<strong>en</strong>t définies, donc. La première,fictionnelle, muette, faite d’impressions, <strong>de</strong> s<strong>en</strong>sations, s’arrêtant icisur le chatoiem<strong>en</strong>t d’une couleur, là sur un son, est construite à partir<strong>du</strong> point <strong>de</strong> vue <strong>de</strong> l’<strong>en</strong>fant. La secon<strong>de</strong>, affichée docum<strong>en</strong>taire, estbâtie sur la parole <strong>de</strong> la vieille femme. Mais les <strong>de</strong>ux temps se crois<strong>en</strong>t,les récits et les paroles se mêl<strong>en</strong>t, les images pass<strong>en</strong>t <strong>de</strong> l’unà l’autre, les voix se superpos<strong>en</strong>t, se doubl<strong>en</strong>t, pass<strong>en</strong>t d’un corps àl’autre. En <strong>de</strong>ux récits nécessairem<strong>en</strong>t fragm<strong>en</strong>taires et complém<strong>en</strong>tairesd’une expéri<strong>en</strong>ce insaisissable – sur la perte inconsolable àjamais d’un père, sur la vieillesse et la disparition inéluctable –, NoraMartirosyan offre un film <strong>en</strong> forme d’hommage, à la transmission età la mémoire. (NF)Two chapters, two time periods, one story. On the one hand, 1937, at the heightof the Stalinist purges in Erevan, in the th<strong>en</strong> Soviet Arm<strong>en</strong>ia, the year of the arrestof Nora Dabagian’s father who was a political dissid<strong>en</strong>t. On the other hand, 2006,the circumstantial story of this arrest related by the old woman, affectionatelyknown as Baboulia, who was a very young girl in the 1930s. The t<strong>en</strong>se questionbetwe<strong>en</strong> these two si<strong>de</strong>s is how to transmit all this and what images ands<strong>en</strong>sations should be conveyed?Appar<strong>en</strong>tly, two parts are clearly <strong>de</strong>fined. The first, fictional, sil<strong>en</strong>t, ma<strong>de</strong> up ofimpression and s<strong>en</strong>sations, pausing here on a shimmering colour and there ona particular sound, is constructed from the point of view of the child. The second,more docum<strong>en</strong>tary, is built on the words of the old woman. But the two timeperiods cross over, the stories and the words become mixed up, the images passfrom one to the other, voices are superimposed, become doubled, passing fromone body to the other. In two necessarily fragm<strong>en</strong>ted and complem<strong>en</strong>tary storiesabout an ungraspable experi<strong>en</strong>ce, the inconsolable loss of a father, old age andthe inevitable disappearance, Nora Martirosyan offers a film in the form of ahomage to transmission and memory.
