The Chronicles of Anachoret is an experimental film at the intersection of mimodrama, expanded cinema, and philosophical reflection on war, memory, and displacement. It continues the narrative of the previous movie “Synumeru – soniakh”, where the shock of catastrophe fractures time, dissolving linearity and pushing the protagonists into a state of post-traumatic delirium.
In The Chronicles of Anachoret, we move from the immediacy of destruction to a phase of wandering — a psychological and existential exile. The protagonist, a hermit (anachoret), is caught in a fluid, deformed reality where past and future blur under the false appearance of the present.
The “lost ones” who appear along the way are both refugees of war and phantoms of memory, coexisting in a reality shaped by fragmentation and disorientation. They move through symbolic landscapes—snow-covered roads, frozen rivers, ephemeral shelters—metaphors for instability, impermanence, and the search for meaning in the aftermath of catastrophe.
