METZARENTS is the story of Vahag, a young Armenian-American awakening to his Armenian identity. Vahag and his Korean-American girlfriend Hanna are both struggling actors who live in the heart of Hollywood. When Vahag is offered the role of Misak Metzarents (a dead Armenian poety) in a theatrical play, he begins to confront his long dormant Armenian roots which ultimately distances him from Hanna and makes Vahag question what is true happiness.
