Trilogia II: I skoni tou hronou: Directed by Theodoros Angelopoulos. With Willem Dafoe, Bruno Ganz, Michel Piccoli, Irène Jacob. A, an American film director of Greek ancestry, is making a film that tells his story and the story of his parents. It is a tale that unfolds in Italy, Germany, Russia, Kazakhstan, Canada and the USA. The main character is Eleni, who is claimed and claims the absoluteness of love. At the same time the film is a long journey into the vast history and the events of the last fifty years that left their mark on the 20th century. The characters in the film move as though in a dream. The dust of time confuses memories. A searches for them and experiences them in the present.

“Through references to the Thebaid cycle the three films that make up TRILOGY follow the destiny of Hellenism as recorded in the relationship of two people who first meet as children in 1919 during the flight of the Greeks from Odessa only to lose each other and find each other again in different time periods in different parts of the world, living through the great historic events of the 20th century and the turn of the 21st.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe second film is entitled u0026quot;THE DUST OF TIMEu0026quot; (THE THIRD WING) and unfolds in the former Soviet Union, the Austrian-Hungarian borders, Italy and New York between 1953 and 1974, from the eve of Stalinu0026#39;s death to Nixonu0026#39;s resignation in the United States and the fall of the Greek junta.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe third film is entitled RETURN and is set in present-day New York.”
