Three cinematic titans mourn a murdered poet through trains, silence, and the ghost of Pasolini.
Greek Theo Angelopoulos traveling from Athens to Ostia, the Roman beach where Pasolini was killed. Far from there, in a Spanish train station, Víctor Erice wanders in an interview about the film resistance. And in Italy, Tonino Guerra, Ninetto Davoli and Nico Naldini lend his voice to the missing Passolini to close a historic triangle on film and solitude.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Pasolini was murdered on November 2, 1975 at Ostia; his death remains officially unsolved despite confessions. The film treats this site as sacred ground.
Víctor Erice's interview was filmed during his decades-long 'silence' between El Sur (1983) and El sol del membrillo (1992)—making his presence here almost as rare as Pasolini's voice.
