In the moment my heart was born, pureness whence this film began had come. Since then, I've been gazing the time of life upon the rood in the realm as a little space for breathing like Marcelino did. The belief surpassing description was rooted under the rose. Come closer! and feel to surface an innocent smile on his resting face in arms if you would not waver to be brave to value substances, no matters.

The actor as Marcelino had done well to depict the symbol of proud sadness. God's hand invited him to return into the source of existence and gave him the meaningful life with some pieces of bread. His last smile appears to accept all forthwith.

Alexandre tries to find the meaning through a whole of his life on his last day simultaneously in the meditative way, how to have had influenced one another, might be his lated beautiful wife, with her recurrent letter. Finally he could cut across the unbroken wholeness in the last scene that Theo Angelopoulos as director could not end to make this film. He or we should know "eternity" composed with all its parts and "a day" is just the instant but cyclically over recurring and longer. This film could be the teaching material of literature, what the synchronic linguistics is. We have to watch the sequential scenes in the notes depicting by Theo entirely after then, to consider as he maintained anytime.

The tale of Solomos presented obviously Theo's literary stranger thoughts what he has been holding still today and three words that a boy picked out for Alexandre let take Greek climate being set off by it to heart.
