The Suspended Step of the Stork

In the first part of the Trilogy of Borders, Theo Angelopoulos brings together Marcello Mastroianni and Jeanne Moreau in a deeply poetic and profoundly human film that hovers between political history, personal memory, and the impossibility of a final farewell.

Synopsis

A young reporter becomes fascinated by the figure of an elderly refugee who lives an almost ascetic life in a small border town. His investigation gradually turns into an existential journey.
