The Mulberry Tree

In an intriguing exploration of ownership and community, Melkonian's latest work brings together his creative vision with the masterful cinematography of Mikhail Vartanov. The film delves into the lives of two neighboring families who share a unique bond over a massive mulberry tree that stands precariously between their homes. Instead of letting this shared resource foster unity, the families find themselves embroiled in a dispute over ownership and control of the tree. Through intimate portrayals of both households, the film raises questions about property boundaries, human connections, and the power dynamics that shape our relationships with one another.
