Осенью 1942-го года отряд бойцов во главе с инструктором-альпинистом получает задание — убрать свастику, прикрепленную на одной из вершин Кавказа. Преодолев полный опасностей путь, герои сталкиваются на вершине с моторизованной колонной дивизии «Эдельвейс» и вступают в неравный бой с врагом.

Orpheus Descending
Levon Grigoryan
The film tells of the life and work of Sergey Paradzhanov. On December 15, 1973, the Master was to leave for Yerevan to start work on a film based on Andersen’s fairy tales. It is not known why he had changed his decision, and left on that very day for Kiev where, two days later, on December 17, he was arrested. The film recounts the years the director spent in prison. The author tries to penetrate the mysteries of the Master’s spiritual world, naming the sources, from which he drew the strength to endure the adversities of not only camp life, but of the life in general that had endowed him with huge talent and made him pay for it in full measure.

Eros and Thanatos
Levon Grigoryan
The film explores the two central themes of Sergey Paradzhanov’s works that the great master had been particularly interested in: “Eros and Thanatos”… (Love and Death). His reflections on these eternal and never-to-be-solved mysteries of human nature are conveyed in his films and drawings through Paradzhanov’s unique language that has no analogies.
