Description:

Paravani Lake (ფარავნის ტბა, Pʰaˈravnis Tʰba) is an ancient volcanic crater between Georgia and Armenia. Its hydrology is maintained by the river of the same name. Hence the story of Hovhannes Tumanyan. Through it, folk wisdom wants to explain what is truly the most precious thing in the world.

The daughter of the sovereign of Paravani kingdom has reached marriageable age. She desires an inextinguishable flame of love to win her heart. Brave suitors fly to the four corners of the world to look for it, but in the end, no one understood the meaning of her words. The princess was so sad that she turned to stone and her tears turned the whole country into a lake.

A Russian voice-over dubbed version also exists, and can be watched here (very low-quality video source). The Russian words are somewhat different.
