Teacher Anush Stepanovna, her son Artashes, and four puppies they have taken in: Neposedu, Chernushka, Kubik, and Razdan, each have their own personality and unique, amazing story.

Set in the aftermath of the 1915 Armenian Genocide, a grief-stricken survivor arrives in a desolate Soviet Armenian village after losing his entire family. Burdened by trauma, he must navigate a bleak existence and find the will to heal, plant roots, and rebuild his life.

Armen is an employee of the State Archive, an irrepressible young man, who is not indifferent to the grief, injustice, and meanness of other's. Armen feels responsible for solving these problems, even though they have no direct bearing on him.
