The Last Tightrope Dancer in Armenia seeks to understand why the tightrope has been abandoned by Armenia's society through the story of an orphan boy, who is the last student of tightrope dancing, and his old and marginalized instructors, who are trying to save their beloved art. The story of the last tightrope dancer is a local story, unfolding in a small country. The theme, however, can be found throughout every society in the world: the loss of tradition, and the shift of social values in the face of globalization.

The film has been shown on NHK (Japan), SVT (Sweden), TVP (Poland) and YLE (Finland), Bars Media Documentary Film Studio said in a press release.
