In December 1988 thousands died in the earthquake that struck Gyumri, Armenia. More than a third of the victims were children and their devastated parents reacted by naming their newborn kids after the sons and daughters they had lost. The renowned director of Old Believers and The Rite of Spring documented life after the catastrophe for a period of three years.
