Zare

Зарэ / Զարե

A 1926 Soviet Armenian silent film about the life of the Kurds of the Caucasus and their resistance to tsarist rule. In a tribe camped on the slopes of Mount Ararat and Mount Alagyaz, the shepherd Saydo and his fiancée Zare see their love tested by the oppressive Timur-bek; when Zare slaps him at their wedding, the tribe casts her out. It is described as the first Armenian film devoted to Kurdish culture.
