00:03:15,208 --> 00:03:20,This film does not attempt
to tell the life story of a poet.

00:03:20,458 --> 00:03:24,Rather, the filmmaker has tried
to recreate the poet's inner world

00:03:24,208 --> 00:03:28,through the trepidations of his soul,
his passion and torments,

00:03:28,333 --> 00:03:32,widely utilising
the symbolism and allegories

00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:38,specific to the tradition of Ashugh,
the Medieval Armenian troubadours.

00:03:40,416 --> 00:03:44,I ** the man whose life
and soul are torment.

00:03:59,666 --> 00:04:04,I ** the man whose life
and soul are torment.

00:04:30,166 --> 00:04:34,I ** the man whose life
and soul are torment.

00:05:02,416 --> 00:05:06,I ** the man whose life
and soul are torment.

00:05:10,958 --> 00:05:16,In the beginning,
God created the heavens and the earth.

00:05:16,500 --> 00:05:20,On the sixth day, God said:

00:05:20,791 --> 00:05:23,"Let us make mankind in our image,

00:05:23,291 --> 00:05:27,in our likeness".

00:05:27,916 --> 00:05:32,So God created mankind in his own image,

00:05:32,416 --> 00:05:35,in the image of God he created him.

00:05:36,333 --> 00:05:40,Then the Lord God formed a man
from the dust of the ground,

00:05:41,666 --> 00:05:47,and breathed into his nostrils the breath
of life, and the man became a living being.

00:05:48,166 --> 00:05:51,The Lord God took the man

00:05:51,458 --> 00:05:54,and put him in the Garden of Eden

00:05:54,958 --> 00:05:58,to till the soil,

00:05:58,791 --> 00:06:00,and take care of the Garden.

00:06:01,458 --> 00:06:04,And the Lord God commanded the man,
saying...

00:06:21,208 --> 00:06:28,Many have come before me,
and vaguely known this amazing world,

00:06:29,083 --> 00:06:35,they have extinguished
and expired ahead of me.

00:07:13,250 --> 00:07:17,Books must be well kept and read,

00:07:17,958 --> 00:07:20,for books are Soul and Life.

00:07:22,083 --> 00:07:28,Without books, the world would
have witnessed nothing but ignorance.

00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:33,Read aloud for the people to hear,
in benefit of their souls,

00:07:34,458 --> 00:07:38,for many are unable to read
what is written.

00:09:24,625 --> 00:09:29,From the colours and aromas of this world,

00:09:29,666 --> 00:09:35,a poet's lyre my childhood did make,
and offered it to me.

00:12:39,208 --> 00:12:46,Saint George, we implore you,
let your good fortune, your kind thoughts

00:12:46,333 --> 00:12:50,spread over our family and our people.
Along with your white horse,

00:12:50,750 --> 00:12:53,be a stronghold for our people.
Give prosperity to this family,

00:12:53,750 --> 00:12:59,give them good thoughts and prosperity.

00:16:59,333 --> 00:17:04,We were searching for ourselves
in each other...

00:19:10,541 --> 00:19:15,...has gone beyond measure.

00:24:09,666 --> 00:24:16,In this healthy and beautiful life
only I have been made to suffer.

00:24:16,375 --> 00:24:20,Why is it so?

00:27:57,541 --> 00:28:04,We were searching
for a place of refuge for our Jove,

00:28:04,375 --> 00:28:08,but instead,
the road led us to the land of the dead.

00:29:37,541 --> 00:29:45,You abandoned us and went away,
but we the living wrapped you

00:29:45,333 --> 00:29:50,in a cocoon, so that in your new world
you would burst forth like a butterfly.

00:30:25,291 --> 00:30:30,How ** I to protect my wax-built
castles of love

00:30:31,083 --> 00:30:34,from the devouring heat of your fires?

00:31:10,333 --> 00:31:12,You are fire.

00:31:13,708 --> 00:31:16,You are dressed in...

00:31:23,083 --> 00:31:25,You are fire.

00:31:26,916 --> 00:31:29,You are dressed in...

00:31:31,833 --> 00:31:33,fire.

00:31:33,666 --> 00:31:38,You are fire.
You are dressed in fire.

00:31:41,083 --> 00:31:45,You are fire.
You are dressed in fire.

00:31:45,958 --> 00:31:50,You are fire.
You are dressed in black.

00:31:52,375 --> 00:31:54,You are dressed in black.

00:31:58,875 --> 00:32:01,Which of these two fires can I endure?

00:35:04,166 --> 00:35:09,Go then and find
your refuge of selfless love.

00:35:09,958 --> 00:35:15,I will go and search
the monasteries one by one.

00:38:17,208 --> 00:38:20,What is the name?
What is the name?

00:38:21,458 --> 00:38:22,Arutin.

00:38:23,416 --> 00:38:25,Lord, have mercy.

00:38:26,041 --> 00:38:28,Remember us, Lord, and have mercy on us.

00:38:28,541 --> 00:38:32,Jesus Christ, Son of God,
bountiful and merciful is your love,

00:38:32,916 --> 00:38:37,have mercy on the soul of your servant,

00:38:37,416 --> 00:38:41,the departed Arutin,
who has joined you in Heaven.

00:38:41,250 --> 00:38:45,Remember him on the day of your coming,

00:38:45,208 --> 00:38:49,and forgive him all his sins...

00:38:54,125 --> 00:38:58,Jamal, go faster!

00:39:12,208 --> 00:39:16,He placed the hand of Eve
into that of Adam, and Adam said:

00:39:16,583 --> 00:39:20,"This is now bone of my bones
and flesh of my flesh;

00:39:20,750 --> 00:39:24,she shall be called Woman,
for she was taken out of Man.

00:39:24,250 --> 00:39:28,That is why a man leaves
his father and mother

00:39:28,250 --> 00:39:33,and is united to his wife,
and they become one flesh."

00:40:15,250 --> 00:40:17,Godfather, what is your ward's name?

00:40:17,833 --> 00:40:19,Arutin.

00:40:19,583 --> 00:40:23,Little Arutin has come to ask
to be baptised.

00:40:23,875 --> 00:40:28,We baptise him in the name of the Father,
of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

00:40:29,166 --> 00:40:31,By the grace of the blood of Christ,

00:40:31,708 --> 00:40:35,welcome him into
your Father's heavenly kingdom,

00:40:35,208 --> 00:40:37,so that he will be the heir to Christ

00:40:37,958 --> 00:40:41,and the temple of the Jiving God.

00:40:55,083 --> 00:40:56,Arutin!

00:41:36,250 --> 00:41:39,Brothers of mine in soul and blood,

00:41:40,083 --> 00:41:45,Heaven has sent upon us to this world,
grief, grief, grief...

00:41:46,833 --> 00:41:52,Brothers of mine in soul and blood,
grief, inconsolable grief

00:41:53,916 --> 00:41:57,has been sent to us from Heaven today.

00:41:58,833 --> 00:42:04,During this night
of the revelation of Saint Sarkis,

00:42:04,458 --> 00:42:09,our Holy Father Lazarus has died
at Etchmiadzin.

00:42:09,916 --> 00:42:12,Catholicos of all Armenians,

00:42:13,291 --> 00:42:17,most high amongst men and prelates.

00:42:18,708 --> 00:42:24,Brothers of mine in soul and blood,
grief, grief, grief...

00:42:25,750 -->...
