Oone, Two, Three / the chosen ones

directed by Arman Yeritsyan

 

It’s never too late for an encore!

Armenia’s only elderly dance troupe is practicing for their latest performance. But they are not just learning the steps to a new dance; they are learning that you are never too old to turn your life around. Mikhail (80) collects garbage from streets, yet he dances… Mariam (58) has just gotten out of a mental hospital, yet she dances… Anahit (64) puts flowers on the graves of the eight kids she has lost, yet she dances. They are all ‘The Chosen Ones’, a group of fifteen elderly and lonely people who dance to overcome their hardships and find a sense of meaning and joy in their lives once more.
