Dimitri Fininis

A disillusioned forty-something wanders through a city and his past, rejected by every ideology he once believed in. Neither love nor theory can fill the void—so he stages his own theatrical death.

Aldevaran is an imaginary city where the word-maven and poet Dimitris, the prostitute Magdalene and the rock musician Chris live together. Every evening, the two men give improvised performances in a coffee bar, until the day that Dimitris is informed by his doctors that he has cancer and only two months to live. The film is about those two months, with Dimitris wandering in an ugly city which is also dying with him.
