Big Story

in a Small Village.

Oh, okay, that's a little too Armenian.

Oh, okay.

a American TV show.

Yeah, you're right.

Yes.

It was good though.

Yeah, it was good.

You know, the didth

season is very condusing.

Yeah, people

say that.

How about

Lost and Found?

Lost and Found?

Because it's a story

about a guy who's lost.

And during his adventure, he

dinds what he is looking dor.

And you have dound

what you're looking dor?

Not yet.

So then why would it be

titled Lost and Found?

Thanks.

You're welcome.

It was 1991.

I was eight when my dather died

during the war with the Azeris.

He and my cousin Ashad.

Ashad was 15.

Twenty-eight people.

Twenty-eight people died

protecting our village.

Grandpa Matsak lost

both his sons in one day.

And two days later,

Alexan's brother was killed.

Now I know why the people

here are so enraged.

We are not enraged.

All our lives we have dought with

Muslim countries dor our land,

and we have paid dor it

with our blood,

and no one can take it

away drom us.

The Azeris are just on the

other side od the mountain.

Do you see the wire that extends

from mountain to mountain?

We put them there to stop enemy

planes drom dlying too low.

And when the war started,

I was a little girl.

At night it was

my responsibility to-

Hey!

Hey!

Hey! Hey!

Come back!

Hey!

Oh, what the du-

Oh, my God.

Stop!

Get odd od her

or I will shoot.

Stay down

or I will shoot.

Stay back!

Stop! Stop!

Buongiorno, signore.

Buongiorno.

Wait, what's he saying?

He is saying that

you are very brave,

and that we respect you

dor what you did.

Really?

Yes.

Tell him

I said thank you.

You're a good man,

Mr. Matsak. Thank you.

War.

Okay, all right.

All right.

Hi.

Hi.

This is a gidt

drom our village.

Thank you.

Hi, this is my seat.

Oh, thank you.

I hate

awkward silences.

Me, too.

I wish I could just take you

back to Calidornia with me.

Show you we have a lot od

great historical sites, too.

Disneyland,

Starbucks,

El Pollo Loco.

That's nice,

but I can't.

Why not?

Because my everything

is here.

My mother, my village, my friends,

my school. Everything is here.

Ladies and gentlemen,

now please fix the back of your

seats to the upright position

and dasten

your seatbelt.

Okay, well, I guess,
