A three-chapter, 720-minute cinematic exploration inspired by historic explorers such as Adelbert von Chamisso. The film interlaces past and present travel experiences, employing readings and visual materials to probe themes of cultural knowledge loss and transformation, while drawing parallels to Chamisso’s "Wondrous Story" of Schlemihl and his shadow.
