在这部夜行怪客剧情片中,上帝創造人類治理大地,人類就創造了各式武器自相殘殺。里斯本郊區,有歐洲最大軍事基地。這邊廂,士兵練習跳傘,荷槍實彈,進行軍事演習;那邊廂, 野生動物在軍火庫周圍自由奔跑,養蜂人檢查蜂巢,生物學家研究青蛙,牧羊人為羊接生,天文愛好者觀星,男孩為野鹿彈琴…… 雅斯潘以散文電影手法對照其中的矛盾本質:戰爭與和平互相交織,死亡陰影與生命禮讚輪流交替,也恰如普羅米修斯,被鷹啄食的肝反覆重生,苦難與希望永恆循環。
A mysterious lonely guy, constantly in motion, escaping his true self. A young rebel woman, struggling with a complicated form of grief. Two different kinds of self-imposed isolation, confronting each other in a psychological drama about suspended identity.
