Nothing is easy for Torik, a shy orphan adopted by his aunt and uncle: he struggles to fit into village life, learn a craft, or find a wife. When Torik does fall in love – with Anjel, a local prostitute – he must face down the disapproval of his narrow-minded community and assert his right to happiness. One of Armenian master filmmaker Henrik Malyan’s classic tragicomedies, which demonstrates his deep affection for his nation’s history.
