"Five Dreamers and a Horse" - a coproduction of Armenia and Germany - is about the dreams of people. Five protagonists try to fulfill their dreams. An elevator conductor in a hospital dreams of traveling into space. An old unemployed Stalinist dreams of a trip to Paris before he dies. A young farmer dreams of the perfect woman, one that he can choose himself without the limitations of his village community. While these protagonists dream of escaping their present lives, two others, a young lesbian couple, play a very special role: they try to live out their dreams everyday. They hang out on the rooftops of Yerevan and get married with a doll as their pastor. They live free, without any borders, and define their own world.
