Kikos

Kikos

  1. Overview
  2. Fact Sheet

The little Kikos is sent to fetch water. One after the other, the members of his family suggests further development, from that the boy will certainly drown in the well, to the fact that by some miracle, Kikos will become a king. The film ingeniously ridicules the Armenian habit of always predicting in advance all the possible turns of fate.
