Way Back Home is a road-documentary filmed in Armenia. In 2016, Canadian-Armenian actress Arsinée Khanjian found herself in the middle of public unrest in the centre of Yerevan, eventually getting detained together with dozens of other people. This event sounded a wake-up call for the Armenian Diaspora, and world renowned Armenian celebrities – singer Serj Tankian, filmmaker Atom Egoyan, comedian Vahé Berberian and filmmaker Eric Nazarian joined forces to address civic rights issues in Armenia and observe the Parliamentary Elections in 2017.

A small town on the border between Portugal and Spain. A place beyond space and time. Not much happens during the day. But at night old ghosts roam once again the ancient streets of the village. A completely different facet of the village rises from the shrouds of the past. Mystery once again takes its place in the life of the villagers, allowing them to cast a glance to the other side.
