Sharing his heartfelt stories, Karapet Sahakyan invites us to reflect on the silent wisdom of mountains. What have these ancient giants seen throughout their existence? For him, mountains and nature transcend all borders, they belong to no one and everyone at once. As enduring parts of Earth’s history, they stood long before civilizations, and they remain untouched by the boundaries we draw. Through unforgettable encounters, Karapet explores how nature connects us beyond language, nationality, and prejudice, reminding us of what truly matters: our shared planet and the responsibility we hold toward it.
