Philip Glass’s Glassworks played by Valentina Lisitsa, Michael Nyman’s Out of the Ruins, Jordi Savall’s Armenian Spirit and Tigran Hamasyan’s Luis I Luso form the soundtrack.

Film's emotive music by Philip Glass, Tigran Hamasyan, Michael Nyman and the others is an integral part of the story, complementing the visuals and poetry.

Varoujan's original poetry is recited by Yeğya Akgün in Western Armenian, accompanied by English subtitles, translated by Alice Stone Blackwell, Tatul Sonentz-Papazian, etc.

Young Taniel Varoujan had witnessed Hamidian massacres as a child, which profoundly affected his poetry, and the film uses some of his works which were prophetic about the 1915 events.

"Taniel"'s scenes are explained in the poet's rich, innovative Western Armenian, using poems from his various books about loss, love, exile and his yearning for peace for the mankind.
