Short description

A Bride from the North is a romantic comedy about a man named Artak who falls in love with a woman named Valya while serving in the military in rural Russia. Because Valya's mother fears the earthquakes and distance of the Armenian highlands, she refuses to let her daughter move there. To resolve the conflict, Artak convinces his diverse group of relatives from his own village to travel to the remote Russian countryside to help bring his future bride back to Armenia.

The film was produced by Yerevan Film Studio in the Soviet Union and directed by Nerses Hovhannisyan, with a screenplay written by Zhora Arutyunyan. The cast features Ara Babadzhanyan in the lead role of Artak, alongside Natalya Bespalova as Valya and Armen Dzhigarkhanyan as Serob. Other supporting roles are played by Murad Kostanyan, Verjaluys Mirijanyan, and Yervand Manaryan.
