Jacqueline Wagenstein

The film is dedicated to Jorge Luis Borges, one of the giants of the written word of the 20th century. Borrowed and altered from the work of Borges and others, from world history and literature - Noah's Ark, the Tower of Babel, the (anti)utopian new world, the "civilization of the spectacle.", they intertwine with Borges's theories of the cyclicality of time and the infinity of the universe.

This is the 100-year story of Angel Wagenstein. A direct witness to at least three historical revolutions, a participant in the underground resistance during the Second World War, a prisoner in a concentration camp, a fighter against fascism, a man sentenced to death, the creator of fifty-two screenplays, a film and theater director, the author of four novels and countless pages of non-fiction, and the recipient of hundreds of awards from all corners of the globe. A Bulgarian citizen and a German pensioner—a rebel with a sparkling sense of humor and an independent spirit—who managed to remain true to himself throughout every era he lived through.
