Anahit

Anahit (2014), directed by David Sahakyants, is an Armenian animated film you can watch online on iFILM. It draws on an ancient legend: King Vachagan of Armenia falls for Anahit, a shepherd's daughter, and discovers that love comes with a condition — he must learn a craft and work with his own hands.

While the king labours, an old enemy moves on the throne, threatening to bring darkness across the kingdom. Anahit isn't waiting to be rescued; she drives the whole story forward. A warm mythological fable that feels unlike most animated films coming out of the region. Watch Anahit (2014) online on iFILM.
