Plot

A retired teacher wanders Greece.

Sinekatalog’s take

Theo Angelopoulos's drama follows a retired teacher who sets off across Greece with his beehives and meets a young girl. Marcello Mastroianni is haunting in a bleak, slow road film on aging and loss.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
