This film has been considered the most comprehensible work of director Angelopoulos, which is primarily allegorical about the power of faith and the traps that dreams place in front of humans. The story summary is as follows: two sad and intelligent children set off from Greece to Germany to find their father. A painful and fruitless journey that presents a disappointing experience at every turn, forcing them to confront deceitful and cunning characters.
