The film “Les habitants” unfolds around the idea of humanism and of a link between nature and wildlife, it also addresses the attacks and the treats perpetrated by mankind. The film “Les saisons” evokes the defining moments in Armenian history, from its volcanic roots to the industrial era. In “Fin”, Pelechian films, with a shoulder mounted camera, men and women from different ages and ethnic groups, in a train going from Moscow to Yerevan. The film “Vie” shows the face of a woman who is giving birth, the ancestral gestures related to birth, in an abstract space which reminds of the iconographic depictions of the Mother and Child.
