PARVANA (based on Hovhannes Tumanyan's story)
Screenplay: Armen Hayraptyan, Valentin Podpomogov
Director and art director: Valentin Podpomogov
Where's the brave man...
Who deserves my beautiful daughter...
Who'll take his horse and his armor...
Who'll show up and seize his destiny...
This is the will of the Parvana king!
Hear the will of the Parvana king!
This is the will of the Parvana king!
Hear the will of the Parvana king!
This is the will of the Parvana king!
See these brave men, my princely daughter...
Soon, they'll perform here, and fight each other...
One will show his strength, another - his grace of arms...
Some will show us a nimble horse race, and some - the momentum of their run...
And when the fight is over, when we see the winner...
When all the brave men will pass in front of us...
The invincible victor, beholden by the whole world, will be your destiny!
Would you like a treasure? Gold, silver, gemstones or jewels...
Would you like a star? We'll bring it down for you!
What's gold, silver or even a star to me...
I don't ask for jewels, either...
I want a flame from him, the holy eternal flame...
Whoever will bring the eternal flame, he will be my fiancé!
Father, why didn't they return, those passionate, brave men?
Perhaps, they forgot me and will not bring the eternal flame.
He'll return, my daughter - it isn't easy to bring the flame...
It often happens that the soul that brings it also burns up in it...
