ZIAZAN is a little Armenian girl at the age of four. Her uncle makes his living on the shuttle trade between Armenia and Turkey. Because of the closed border between the two countries, every time he ends up having to go on a 36 hour route over Georgia. Each time he comes back from Turkey, he also brings his beloved niece little gifts. Among the gifts, Ziazan’s favorite is the chocolate cream in a tube. Aside from being Ziazan’s favorite, the chocolate cream attracts the attention of the kids from the neighborhood too. ​
​​
Because of her love for the chocolate cream in a tube and to impress her friends; Ziazan makes a plan to go on a big adventure: She will sneak in her uncle’s bag, go to Turkey with him, buy tons of the chocolate cream and bring some back to the kids on the block.   ​

One day, she wakes up at dawn, carefully and silently prepares her luggage - a plastic bag with her underwear, an old orange colored toy monster, a little blue blanket, some juice and the chocolate cream - and sneaks in her uncle’s old leather suitcase.​
​
The old leather suitcase now sits under the sun in the back of the pickup truck. Inside, Ziazan excitedly listens to the sounds from outside as she peeps out of a tiny part of the suitcase she has unzipped. With the truck rocking like a cradle, she falls asleep, ready for the beginning of her adventure…​
