Yerevan for the Time Being

Susanna, Robert, Mariam and Mr. Hekekyan with the choir "Little Singers of Armenia" are neighbors of one of the largest construction sites in Yerevan. They have all lived and/or worked for years at this location in the center of Armenia’s capital. These neighbors all have one thing in common: their living situation and place of work are literally insecure. Sooner or later they too may give way. In the documentary "Yerevan for the Time Being", observations on the construction site are juxtaposed with the living situation of three neighbors. The film also portrays people involved in the construction site: construction workers, the project architect and the site manager. In addition, the melancholy microcosm of their precarious living situation is revealed, which in times of gentrification must be defended. Everything is temporary, everything has its moment in time—but the lifetimes of cities, neighborhoods, houses and their inhabitants have different durations.
