Armenia in the Middle Ages ... the desert ... the bell-tower of a half-destroyed church ... Martiros languishes in the desert. His heart strikes out beyond the narrow monastic circle.
In 301 A.D. Gregory the Illuminator healed the one-time Pagan King Tiridates the Great and christened the Armenian people, thus making Armenia the first Christian nation in the world. This is the story about a woman who changed the faith of her nation forever.
Based on a true story, this is a subtle tale of re-affirmation of the identity of the artist following the Armenian Diaspora. It is an encounter with his alter-ego, a dialogue with his own conscience, a gradual dawning of the truth and an authentic glance at life... themes understandable by all. The film is an episode in the life of the director, a life full of surprises, and all the more so for being a cosmopolitan Armenian-American now standing on his native soil, his ultimate source of creative energy and ideas.
A successful businessman with a terminal illness returns to Armenia and buys a mental institution.
