Genocide. Time does not erase fear from people's souls even when they simply hear the word... But time brings us to a threshold beyond which one should rather hate or forgive. Today the Armenian nation chooses to forgive. Forgiveness spiritual feat. Its champion in the film is a friendly family with the simple Russian-Armenian origins of Tironyan Harutyunyan. We hope 'Thistle' will not stir up troubled minds and encourage people to ponder, weigh, understand and gain wisdom, as well as for Armenians, all Armenians, to forgive the Genocide and the Turks, all Turks, recognize what happened and move on, to be more free than they are today...
