The film "Manuscripts Don’t Burn" is a fascinating journey into the past along with a different characters: the Armenian medieval traveler, the author of "Travel Notes" Simeon Lehatsi, who was born in Zamosc (Poland) in 1584. At the age of 20, he made a pilgrimage to the Holy places, which lasted about 12 years. The "Travel Notes" written by him became a unique testimony of that time. Another character of the film, Anushavan Mesropyan, works in the Lviv State Library and translates Simeon Lekhatsi's Travel Notes into Ukrainian. The Armenian Church of St. Virgin, built in 1356, the abbots of the temple Armen and Grigor tell about it. Together with the restorer Oleg Rybchinsky, we walk through the narrow streets of old Lviv and learn about the houses of rich Armenians, which miraculously survived and thanks to the restoration work, ancient layers were opened that were lost under a thick layer of plaster of new residents. After World War II by order of the Soviet government, all the Armenians who lived in Lviv left. Some ran away, some were exiled, and none returned.
