The History of Eternity

Only desire is stronger than love

2014 · 121 min · ★ 7.7 · Drama, Music, Romance

In a small village in the hinterland, three stories of love and desire are changing the emotional landscape of its residents. Characters of a romanesque world in which their conceptions of life are limited on one side by human instincts, on the other by a blind and fatalist fate.
