SYNOPSIS
Inspired by Carl Spitzweg’s painting of the namesake but with a different perspective. The film attempts to comprehend all problems, all those which are a part of reality, to contemplate them from within; the old poet’s inability to concentrate on writing stems from his irritation with the triviality of everyday life and solely indulges himself in the rhythm of poetry.
