Recommended for ages 16+ 1917, Yangon. Shortly before the wedding, Edward makes the most cowardly decision - while waiting for his bride Molly at the port, he climbs aboard a Singaporean ship. As he embarks on the greatest wandering of his life, the civil servant's existence is plagued by melancholy. Molly is amused by her lover's escape - unwilling to return to London, she is ready to follow him. The whimsical, surreal journey is filled with optimism: love is meant to overcome everything, but where and when will this journey end? Portuguese director Gomes, who was awarded the best director prize in the main competition of this year's Cannes Film Festival, is looking for the timeless. The winding odyssey of the author, known as the "last cinephile", simultaneously takes you through the textures of the 10s of the last century and early cinema, 16 mm footage of the streets of East and South Asia today, cultural leaps and time that knows no borders. Not only the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, the history of the British Empire, post-internet life and anachronisms, but also a grand visual encyclopedia of cinema are burned here - it will live as long as there are heirs who are ready to take fate into their own hands.
