What do we really know about the history of Armenians worldwide ? How do they live their double belonging in the countries of the diaspora ? What are the debates that enthrall them and the challenges that they face ? For the first time, two generations of French-Armenians engage in a meandering dialogue to go beyond commonplaces by sharing what has been formative for them in their respective crafts : cinema for the one and journalism for the other.
Should one give in to assimilation as something inexorable ? Or rather, should one attend to re-examining the mechanisms of cultural transmission, without diluting the heritage ? Both of them are of the opinion that it is possible to think historically of oneself as double and inheritor of cultures in permanent dialogue. From this dialogue springs a lively exchange where the testimonies of each one's experience gradually yield their place to a reflection on the larger stakes of a diaspora in the midst of transformation.
