The past is a foreign country, a place of stories and secrets.
James Stares has heard his English father talk about how the Great
War affected the lives of his own father, mother and brother a lot;
about how he met James' mother in Cairo; about defending the Empire
in Egypt at a time of rising unrest in the 1950s. But these stories
are not all they seem. More than anything, James wonders why his
mother's Armenian culture plays so little part in his upbringing.
Looking into his mother's origins, James reaches out to his
Armenian relatives in Canada, researching the circumstances of his
maternal grandparents leaving Anatolia in a hurry in 1915... Yet
much is left unsaid. We follow James as he digs deeply into his
family's past, the English and the Armenian, and in the process
comes to a better understanding of himself...
