Beauty and the Lawyer

Documentary

Overview

Carabina is a gay artist, travesty, and sex worker married to Hasmik, a heterosexual lawyer. Now that they are parents. They now have to face a dilemma: Is the kid going to grow up or not in Armenia where 93% of the population is against and hostile to homosexuality? In his performance, Carabina struggles as a gay travesty since his childhood. His show follows his relationship with Hasmik, which permits us to distinguish the Carabina from the show and the real Carabina, a funny personality, eccentric, and full of drama. The show and the personal life create a parallel between the experience that Caribina creates during his show and the tragic homophobic reality he lives in. Witch could be considered as a “performance” of society. Meanwhile, Hasmik is working as a lawyer. in her cabinet and in court. She defends the rights of the LGBT community. We distinguish here Hasmik as a hard worker, a lawyer, and as a loving wife and mother at home.
