Plot
An American film director of Greek descent named A., portrayed by Willem Dafoe, goes back to find the tracks in time across many countries he and his family left from the day he was born in 1953 until the present (early twentyfirst century). The dust of time confuses memories. The film describes the erotic triangle between the director's mother Eleni (Irène Jacob), Jacob (Bruno Ganz) and Spyros (Michel Piccoli).

Famous quotes containing the word plot:
“But, when to Sin our byast Nature leans,
The careful Devil is still at hand with means;
And providently Pimps for ill desires:
The Good Old Cause, reviv’d, a Plot requires,
Plots, true or false, are necessary things,
To raise up Common-wealths and ruine Kings.”
—John Dryden (1631–1700)
“Those blessed structures, plot and rhyme—
why are they no help to me now
I want to make
something imagined, not recalled?”
—Robert Lowell (1917–1977)
“Morality for the novelist is expressed not so much in the choice of subject matter as in the plot of the narrative, which is perhaps why in our morally bewildered time novelists have often been timid about plot.”
—Jane Rule (b. 1931)
