Drama

Composed entirely of literary quotations from many different sources and from several historical periods, the loose narrative concerns a drifter found by a rich woman who soon falls in love with him. A drowning accident takes place and the drifter dies, but some time later he reappears in the woman’s life looking for a job. Or could it be the man’s twin brother?

VIBE

A contemplative, European art-house film that feels like a philosophical essay. It's a slow, deliberate exploration of love and identity, steeped in literary references and a mood of detached melancholy. Best for patient viewers seeking intellectual stimulation.
