Innocent

Directed by Arshak Khachaturian

Robert, an aspiring actor, accidentally meets Alan, a French embassy worker. Obsessed with moving to France the land he believes will define his artistic future Robert has already been rejected seven times. Blaming others for his failures, he decides to manipulate the situation: with a friend’s help, he pretends to be gay to gain Alan’s trust and use him to get a visa. Though suspicious, Alan falls in love with Robert. Meanwhile, Robert joins dance classes for his act and meets Anna, with whom he genuinely falls in love. Caught in a web of lies, Robert juggles both relationships, gradually losing himself. Alan becomes the most emotionally hurt, as he is deeply deceived. In the end, Alan shows maturity and compassion he forgives Robert and lets him go. Anna, however, never learns the truth.
