One night, God turns His back on Yerevan for a single hour, just long enough for the demon Ajami to pay the city a visit. With the Almighty looking the other way the Godless Hour begins and Yerevan’s statues are brought to life in a tale of magical realism wherein each of the giants of the Armenian past debate their lifetime achievements in pursuit of an answer to the question ‘who is the greatest of their number?’ and just what that answer might mean for anyone who dares to dream themselves one day worthy of their own statue...
