What are the conceptions of the public sphere in Armenia? What was the public sphere during the Soviet Union? Which are the priority issues of public sphere? Who makes decisions regulating public sphere and where? Who can participate in that decision-making process and how? This and other issues are covered in the film through interviews with art-critic Nazareth Karoyan and art expert Vardan Azatyan. The film also presents short visual chronology of the 20th century Armenia, as well as shows the efforts of self-organized communities towards saving public spaces from commercialization. The film aims at creating new platforms for discussion on the issues raised.
