This avant-garde film by director Sergiy Parajanov tells the story of the 18th-century Armenian poet Sayat-Nova (Vilen Galstyan). It depicts the stages of his life, particularly his relationships with women, including his muse (Sofiko Chiaureli). Filmed with a static camera, this impressionistic work tells its story through the poet's own verses.
