Short description

Famous writer Alexander contracts a terminal illness. He receives a letter from his wife describing a summer day 30 years ago, and leaves his seaside home to remember his past. This journey will allow him to wander between the past and the present, and encounter unexpected people, allowing him to collect unforgettable memories in the final moments of his life.

What's left behind the scenes

The film was awarded the Palme d'Or by unanimous decision of the Cannes Film Festival jury.
Bruno Ganz (1941-2019) spoke his lines in German, which were then dubbed into Greek.
Marcello Mastroianni (1924-1996) was originally slated to play the lead role, but was unable to do so due to poor health.
