SYNOPSIS
Film protagonists measure the land in a forgotten, abandoned place in Western Armenia, where only one church is still standing. The young man finds the place strange as he is absolutely unaware of who may have lived in those places and built a church with no cross. Suddenly he gets attracted by the old man's pocket watch, which turns to have an inscription in Armenian. One thing remains clear: when a young man plows a stick on the ground, sharp and unpleasant sound of metal and stone is heard…
