Der Leuchtturm

The Rediscovery of Solitude - on a godforsaken lighthouse island in the Mediterranean. On a tiny island in the Mediterranean, where the cliffs drop steeply and ships can only dock in calm seas, a solitary lighthouse rises. Like a Cyclops, it scans the night horizon with its eye, a fixed and indispensable point of orientation for generations of sailors. For three long weeks, Rumiz, the restless wanderer, spends his time there, searching like the beam of light that pierces the sky at night and the horizon by day. He learns to recognize the signs of an approaching storm, to listen to the wind, to fly with the seagulls, and to converse with the donkey. He reflects on the Mediterranean as a cultural space from Trieste to Lebanon, a place of exchange, trade, and wars up to the present day, with its own lingua franca. This motionless journey becomes an adventure of the spirit.
