The theme and main idea of the film:
This ancient and sacred mountain (see Holly Bible) dominates over the capital of Armenia. Its snow tops are hanging over the city and its inhabitants like a dream, at a stone's throw distance, but still unattainable. (Ararat is in a Turkish territory).
The presence and influence of the mountain for and on to the existence of some people is so great, that it was transferred to a moral measure that was defined by each of them by themselves. Sometimes it is like this: "These people are not worthy of this mountain".
The statement that for most people the mountain is only tremendous scenery, must be checked up.
Ararat is dangerous: there are Turkish rockets based on the mountainside and every minute they can shoot the millions of people.
"100 shoots of Ararat " is an old dream and plan to realize in cinema like what Japanese Hokusai did when he's drawing Fuji.

The light is changing every time. It's impossible to measure, to define the mountain. In any way. We must shoot it from the thousand points. To shoot people living near the mountain. How they are interrelated with each other, the mountain and the city? The film will be shot in different places with a gait number of characters and heroes.

But there are some secret, deeply restricted objects here. And they meet there. The nudity of their meetings is prodigious, the composite embraces are so passionate, and the passion is so shameless, that the engine can stop from amazement. So as to avoid technical malfunctions we must shoot these objects at least by three cameras.
