Lyalik

The family and friends tenderly call her “Lyalik”. Lyalik, Haykuhi Amyan by real name, is an architect. One day, when she was about forty, all of a sudden she said goodbye to her profession and started to make dolls. For already 10 years her house in the capital city of Yerevan is a unique house-museum. Its doors are open to everyone; let them come and admire her dolls. Do not expect more! Generous and open-hearted Lyalik does not sell her dolls. You can ask her for anything, but never for dolls. Incidentally, though she allowed filming her dolls, she strictly forbad filming her. The parts, where you enjoy Mrs. Haykuhi’s presence, were secretly filmed by us. With our great efforts she agreed to keep the film unchanged.
