The Blossomed Car is a documentary film about an old abandoned vehicle. Anahid, the granddaughter of the car's original owner, tells the story of how this vintage Opel, engulfed by its surrounding rose bushes, has become a symbol of her family's history. We listen as she recalls journeys taken in the car by the family and how it has come to rest in its permanent parking space in a Yerevan neighbourhood.
