——Dedicated to An Zhe and lonely old people and children

Sellin says goodbye to grandma, escapes from his hometown relying on tree clothes and throwing stones to cross the border*

Catch a long-distance bus to the depths of Greece at the dirty end of snow and car marks

That is Sellin your vast world is your sea and streets full of cars

Sellin brings you sandwiches and new cleaners as I drive down the street you frequent, Sellin

I hummed a sad four-line song and found you in the blue room where the concierge left

Sellin - I see the blood from the corners of your mouth go down the drain through the four-hole steel pipe

That's where your fingertips, your heart, your feet and your mumps sink into the old, mean and benevolent underground Greece

Hear me sing you a country tune in the Albanian I bought:

Send you apples, which will rot, send you roses, which will wither, send you white grapes, will be crushed, send you my tears...*

May you rest in peace as forever or as a day*

    Four years of time left deep marks on this movie and me. The influence it gave was hidden under the water at first. When the memory is awakened again, you find that everything is brand new.的…… How long will tomorrow last? Eternity and a day.

Eternity and a Day quotes

  • Alexandre: All passed by so quickly. This suspect pain... my stubbornness to want to learn,to want to know... then the darkness... the silence around me... the silence. All made me believe that before the end of winter with the ethereal silhouettes of the boats,and their sudden breakthroughs in the sky, with the lovers along the promenade,in the declining sun, and the hypocritical promise of the spring, all made me believe that before the end of winter... My only regret, Anna... but is it only one?... is not to have finished anything. I left it all as a draft, shattered words here and there.

  • Alexandre: I once asked you "how long will tomorrow last?" and you answered me: Eternity and a day.
