Stepan Arutyunyan

Nothing is easy for Torik, a shy orphan adopted by his aunt and uncle: he struggles to fit into village life, learn a craft, or find a wife. When Torik does fall in love – with Anjel, a local prostitute – he must face down the disapproval of his narrow-minded community and assert his right to happiness.

Based on the short stories of A. Bakunts "Girl Honar", "Letter to the Russian Tsar", "Orange", "White Horse". About the fate of the young teacher Alexander, who came to the Armenian village and sided with the Bolsheviks in their struggle against class enemies.
