Armugan is a Finisher. A man in the mountains, accompanied by the vast sky, the sheep and a personal aide, Anchel. People are afraid of him, as they sense that he knows something they do not. A Finisher has the skills and knowledge to help the ones who are dying.

Winner of the Ecumenical Jury Prize at the Tallinn Black Nights Festival, Armugan was shot in the Pyrenees in black and white. The poetic, stylized film offers a profound existential message about the final journey, which does not always arrive at the expected time.

Filmography: Living and Other Fictions (2016), The Taxi Thief (2005), Tattoo Bar (2000).
