- Synopsis:
- While researching a story in a ghostly border town inhabited by refugees from other countries, a young reporter discovers a man (Marcello Mastroianni) whom he believes to be a prominent Greek politician who mysteriously disappeared some years previously, leaving a trail of unanswered questions. To confirm his suspicions, he asks the politician's former wife (Jeanne Moreau), a woman still wounded by the events of the past, to come to the remote town to identify him. Made in response to the fall of communism in Eastern Europe, Theo Angelopoulos' poetic exploration of the turbulent issues of refugees and borders - political, personal and cultural - remains startlingly relevant and powerful.
