ETERNITY AND A DAY

Alexander, a great author beset with
failing health and facing the prospect of
his own death, despairingly prepares to
leave forever his family home.

However, following the discovery of an
old letter from his late wife, evoking me-
mories of happier times, and a chance
encounter with a young Albanian orphan,
Alexander's sense of hope is rekindled as he embarks on a strange journey, in which past and present are intertwined...

Featuring a moving performance from Bruno Ganz, ETERNITY AND A DAY is a beautifully
crafted, luminous film from Theo Angelopoulos, which was unanimously voted the winner of
the Palme d'Or by a jury chaired by Martin Scorsese.
