Description:
Based on a biographical text from the late 1800s by A. Papadiamantis, this film aims to translate the grandeur of poetic prose into a cinematic image of poetry. Shot exclusively during the "magic hour" on the shores and seas of the author's birthplace, Skiathos, and without artificial lighting, the film seeks to capture a truthful moment and emphasize the passage of light.
