Set in an Armenian village of the early 20th century, the story follows Simon, his mother Sharmagh-bibi, their children, and the cherished horse Tsolak. Against the backdrop of war and imperial decrees, the narrative explores themes of loss, resilience, and the fragile bond between human life and faith, where private grief mirrors the collective fate of the community.
