When September Comes

When September Comes (Russian: Когда наступает сентябрь, romanized: Kogda nastupaet sentyabr) is a 1976 Soviet children's drama film directed by Edmond Keosayan.

[1][2] The film tells the story of an elderly and sick man named Levon Poghosyan, who goes to Moscow to congratulate his grandson on the beginning of his school life.

His warm, outgoing personality and readiness to help others quickly make him stand out in the bustling, impersonal atmosphere of the city, where even neighbors rarely interact.

At home, his daughter Nune struggles with jealousy toward her husband, who works at a textile factory and participates in amateur theater, often causing tension in their family life.

In the end, Levon’s friends and family gather at the airport to bid him a heartfelt farewell, marking the close of a poignant chapter in their lives.
