"I Remember Your Voice" is a powerful documentary that brings to light just six stories of survival and loss from the forced displacement of 120,000 Armenians of Artsakh in September 2023. Among them is a woman taken captive with her neighbors after being wounded, a mother who went to bring chocolate to her children but never saw them alive again, and another mother who still carries her son’s gravestone with her at home. These intimate testimonies reveal the human cost of war in its rawest form. Yet they represent only a small part of the thousands of untold stories carried by an entire people. More than a film, it is a lasting testimony and a call to remember voices that must never be silenced.

Seventeen years ago, due to an incredible mix-up, two newborns were switched at birth. Unaware of this, the parents raised them as their own sons.

Cast: Mkrtich Arzumanyan, Tamara Petrosyan, Luiza Nersisyan, Khoren Levonyan, Artashes Aleksanyan, Aleksander Arzumanyan.
