Once a week a ship arrives in the small, remote Aegean Island of Donousa. One winter’s day Stefan, a young German photographer comes to the island and his arrival triggers off a series of events that will bring to light the deepest secrets of a world that is hermetically shut off, trapped in a vicious whirlwind where the same sin, the same mistake, the same blood, the same silences are reproduced. The story unfolds smoothly and reaches a climax without violent flare-ups as if following the pace of life in this forgotten land. A strange, claustrophobic atmosphere for a modern tragedy that has left nothing out of the traditional arsenal: from the chorus and the deus ex machina to the final catharsis.
The man is depicted in three-quarters view, turning straight to the viewers with a penetrating glance. The background is grey, while the clothes, the hair, and cap are black.
Henryk Weyssenhoff, author of landscapes, prints, and illustrations, devoted much of his creative energies to realistic vistas of Belorussia, Lithuania, and Samogitia. A descendant of an ancient noble family which moved east to the newly Polonised Inflanty in the 17th century, the young Henryk was raised to cherish Polish national traditions.
