eternity is fleeting

We are trapped in our own time and space, extending our world in various ways. No matter how vast the world is, it still cannot surpass tomorrow. In the film, the protagonist continues poems and buys vocabulary. He seems to want to expand his life from the cognition of the world. The words he bought from children are full of bitterness and helplessness, as if telling us that we are all exiles of time, wandering in our own back. In the memory that does not go away, but the night is already deep, and even these remaining sorrows will pass away. How long will tomorrow last, if tomorrow comes, it will be an eternity for individuals, but it will not last longer than 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.
