Rambalkoshe adapted the film specifically for “Vsyo! maladets, garoona…” – the first-ever exhibition of Robert Sahakyants’s works – restoring the picture and sound, and replacing the Russian-language dialogue text frames with Armenian ones. In particular, the film was devided into 14,000 shots and restored in its entirety, while the texts were transformed and calligraphed from scratch. The music, unfortunately, could not be found in any of the archives whatsoever, so every single note of the piece was recreated and brought as close to the original as possible.
