Why we chose it

The much-discussed Palme d’Or by Theo Angelopoulos follows the legendary Bruno Ganz on a final walk through memory, the present, and great, unspoken farewells. Cinema here becomes the ultimate journey through time.

Synopsis

An elderly writer spends one last day in Thessaloniki as he prepares to be admitted to hospital. During his wanderings, he encounters a migrant child and begins to travel between moments of the present and memories of his past. This journey brings to the surface unfulfilled relationships, lost words, and unresolved goodbyes.
