Since 2004, filmmaker Klaus Wyborny lyric and poet and essayiste Durs Grünbein have been working on a project aiming to translate poems by Grünbein into film. They start out at a point where antiquity and present overlap. The ce film shot at locations of major importance for european history, some with a connotation mythique: Rome, Pérouse, Cumes, Syracuse, à Martigny, à Rimini, à Fano, Cap Sounion and Athens, whose beaucoup de facettes are evoked dans ce film. Starting out from their own spécialité, the two artists approach a phenomenon that fuses their respective art forms to form a third: a composite consisting of film and poetry.
