Synopsis
"In 1987, a year after
Tarkovsky's death,
Dmitry Trakovsky and his parents emigrated from Russia to the United States, where he grew up feeling a special relationship to the images, sounds, and themes in
Tarkovsky's films. Here, he goes in search other lives affected by the auteur's work: collaborators
Erland Josephson and
Domiziana Giordano, friends
Krzysztof Zanussi and
Franco Terilli, an Orthodox priest, and even the director's son,
Andrei Andreevich Tarkovsky. The result is a touching, highly personal and provocative record of the lingering effects of
Tarkovsky on an extraordinary range of individuals." – Film Society of Lincoln Center
