CGiii Comment

Embodying the dreams and ideologies of Yerevan's post-Soviet generation, Sona and Amassia meet in high school and form an experimental electronica band called Symptom Error. They soon become known for their underground shows, which are often disrupted by sexist and homophobic police intervention. The stakes get higher on the eve of the Velvet Revolution, when thousands take to the streets demanding social and political change. Sona and Amassia are the first amongst their friends to join the crowds. As the people of Armenia feel the waves of the revolution for years to come, we follow Symptom in their rise to fame. They continue to make music through the pandemic and war, and their dreams finally begin to take shape as they prepare for their first international tour.
