What remains of the fire Thomas Psirras 70-year old Artem Abarian, an Armenian born in Greece, recounts his life in a letter addressed to the son of a friend. A man with dual identity, he carries a whole century in his testimony. He becomes the voice of millions of people who found themselves at a time where cynical powers took loved ones apart, crushed souls and dreams and destroyed lives. Expelled, foreigner, expatriate, exiled, prisoner, refugee, newcomer and migrant, he gives voice to countless anonymous victims. He now knows that History is indifferent to individuals, who are forced to construct a present that subjugates their past and future alike.
