Contents/Summary
- Summary
- Somewhere in the high mountains of Armenia, there lives a blind shepherd Khachik. In spite of all the adversities he faced, he and his family lead a quiet life, herding Khachik's goats on the steep slopes of the mountain. However, when his only son begins to lose his sight and has to move to Yerevan to attend a school for the blind, Khachik faces a dilemma: should he keep on living the life of a humble shepherd, or should he move to the capital city too to be with his son? This is a difficult choice for him as he strongly believes that blindness is a curse hanging over his family, and that the only living a devout life in the mountains can lift it.
