Description
Arthur Daane, a documentary film-maker and globetrotter, has lost his wife and child in a plane crash. His latest project is a self-funded film that will show the world through his eyes. As he wanders the streets of Berlin, he reflects on life and plans his next move. A chance encounter with Elik Orange, a young history student, turns his world upside down. Daane's new circle of friends - a philosopher, a sculptor, and a physicist - discuss everything from history to metaphysics, sharing their thoughts on the meaning of contemporary existence. As Daane navigates this new world, he finds himself drawn to Elik Orange again and again. Their paths become intertwined in a poignant love story that explores the personal histories of its characters against the backdrop of the countries they inhabit. In "All Souls' Day", Cees Nooteboom weaves together the threads of history, philosophy, and human connection to create a moving tale of self-discovery and belonging.
