A man and a woman. Their meeting, love, and separation against the backdrop of a city destroyed by lies and violence.
Well, the Earth is round, so moving forward means coming back…
For this reason, no one is surprised by the appearance of legionnaires on the street, the 30 pieces of silver, for which “worthy” students sign up on the list, and even the aspiring prophet, crucified in modern surgery…
Alas, each generation deserves its teachers.
And each of us has 7 days until the flood…

PRESS about the film “TERM: 7 days”.

“The hospitable Chamber Theatre has become a kind of legend for its fans”.
Varuzhan Nazaretyan “When theatre makes a film”, “Ekran”, 1991.

The film “Term: 7 Days” was complex in its structure, plot, and expressions, therefore requiring an unusual approach. It is one of those unique works where one should speak not of the advantages but of the strength of the idea, which overshadows everything else.
…The film has an undeniable advantage. It’s educated, devoid of narrow-national tendencies…”
V.Nazaretyan, “Ekran”, 1992.
