This turquoise-and-cream poster presents The Mechanics of Happiness through its illustrated characters and decorative frame. The 1982 film, directed by Nerses Hovhannisyan, includes Razmik Mansurian in the role of Vartan, according to Kino-Teatr’s filmography.Unlike the companion butterfly design, this artwork brings two faces to the foreground. Hand-drawn shading, ornamental corners and the curved Russian title create the feeling of a printed keepsake. These are observations about the image itself; no unverified artist attribution is attached to it.

Preserving both designs shows how a single film can acquire different visual identities. This article focuses on the portrait poster as an object in the cinema archive and links readers to the original catalogue entry. The film dates from 1982, while the precise printing date of this poster copy remains unconfirmed.
