This Armenian tale follows a weaver's daughter, who demands that the indifferent prince seeking her affection must master literacy and a craft.

Surprisingly, he accomplishes both by crafting an exceptional carpet. Meanwhile, she hones her skills in horseback riding and swordsmanship. Their readiness for rule and adaptability to life's fluctuations mirror the story's subtly intricate frames, hinting at the allure of the exotic.

A subtle nod to 1930s film style connects this Armenian narrative with its fresh American viewership.
