The film explores the connections between Armenia's Mount Ararat and René Daumal's Mount Analogue, drawing parallels between their visible yet inaccessible nature as inland mountains. For Armenians, Ararat, though located in Turkey, remains a mirage on the horizon—unseen yet visible—symbolizing loss and impoverishment. By bearing witness to this environment, the film delves into how our identity is shaped through interactions with the landscape, blurring the boundaries between personal biography and geography. It offers a profound reflection on our relationship with the mountain.
