Alexandre, are you coming?
We're going to the island.
- Where?
- To the island.
We're going to dive
to see the ancient city.
Later, we'll go up
to the rock...
and we'll greet the passing boats.
What do you know
of the ancient city?
Grandfather says that
that happy city was swallowed
by an earthquake...
and that it has slept under the sea
for centuries.
It comes out of the water
once a month
and for very a short time...
when the morning star regrets
to have to leave the Earth...
and stops and contemplates it.
And all stops then...
Time also stops.
Time... what is it?
Grandfather says that
time is a child...
that plays dice
on the shore.
Are you coming then?
ETERNITY AND A DAY
Alexandre!
You fell asleep there...
And you haven't eaten anything!
I have a taste of salt...
the taste of the sea in my mouth.
So, this is our last day...
Let me come with you,
tomorrow, to the hospital.
Ourania, don't make things harder...
After all, doesn't everything end
sooner or later?
Coffee is served
in the office...
I've also packed your suitcase.
It's not too full, I hope. It's useless...
You know it well.
Ourania...
Thanks for the 3 years
that you spent here.
Without you, I don't know
what I would have become.
The dog has eaten.
For the last few months
my only contact with the world
has been this unknown neighbour of mine,
with the same music.
Who are they?
What are they like?
One morning,
I wanted to go and meet them,
but then I changed my mind.
Maybe it's better
not to meet them and imagine them.
Will it be a hermit
like me?
before leaving to school
plays with the unknown neighbour.
All passed by so quickly!
This suspect pain...
my stubbornness to want to learn,
to want to know...
then the darkness...
the silence.
All made me believe
that before the end of winter
with the ethereal
silhouettes of the boats,
and their sudden
breakthroughs in the sky,
with the lovers along the promenade,
in the declining sun,
and the hypocritical promise
of the spring,
all made me believe
that before the end of winter...
My only regret, Anna...
- but is it only one? -
...is not to have finished anything.
I left all as a draft,
shattered words here and there.
Get on!
Where do you come from?
Do you speak Greek?
Do you want me to take you
somewhere?
Hello dad.
What brings you here on Sunday?
No one answers at yours.
I've called for 15 days.
I was worried.
What happened?
I must leave for a while.
I don't know where to leave
the dog, Katrina.
Do you want to drink something?
- There's some coffee...
- I've also brought you
- some of your mother's old letters.
- My mother's letters?
You're leaving, you said?
Where are you going?
You know that Nikos doesn't want
animals in the house.
And your work, how is it going?
My work?
On "The Free Besieged"
of Solomos.
Your third project,
you left it incomplete
after mom's death.
Isn't it what you were working on?
Besides,
I've never understood
how come that a great writer like you
abandoned his work all of a sudden...
to finish an incomplete
19th century poem.
Don't tell me
that you've dropped it too!
I don't know,
maybe I couldn't find the words...
This one has no envelope.
Why?
Shall I read it?
"September 20th, 1966".
My day!
of that day.
"You were still sleeping
when I woke up.
"I watched you breathe.
"Were you dreaming, Alexandre?
"You moved your hand slightly
as to look for me.
"Your eyelids blinked,
