This is a philosophical essay – a reflection on the present of post-war Armenia, where reality and imagination have blended into each other, where the people are desperately seeking “saviors”. In this situation, the creative embodiment of Don Quixote, who appears in this film, proves that there is a very thin border between reality and imagination, and all one needs to do is believe.
