An utterly believable and desperately tragic recounting of the Armenian Genocide in Turkey during the First World War, based on an acclaimed novel by Italian-Armenian novelist Antonia Arslan. Focusing on one family, while also featuring the sub-plot of a forbidden romance, The Lark Farm marked the re-emergence of the Tavianis on the international stage and is a sensitive account of an important event in history.
