Hercules travels by bicycle from Krefeld on the Lower Rhine to Olympus, the throne of ancient deities.

The Cry of the Marsh

Invalid Date

Marshes are the breeding grounds of millions of water-birds and untold numbers of interrelated wildlife. These precious wetlands are being drained, victims of man’s relentless search for more farmland and urban space. The film captures the poetic beauty of marsh life, then the terror and awesome finality which results when man reclaims a marsh for his purposes.

In the heart of Saint-Malo, there's a gigantic area, covering 1/3 of the city, off-limits to the public. It's a part of the commercial port that's mainly accessible via an architecturally unusual footbridge that limits access. An inaccessible place that will be the first to disappear beneath the waves in a few years' time. Only strange sounds reach us from afar: whirring, construction noise, sirens wailing... This parallel world is bustling day and night. But it's in the depths of the night that unfamiliar sounds and lights arouse the most fantasies.

The other places the protagonist in his time: union struggles, the advance of authoritarianism, prison and the challenges of the present. In both are present the lucidity, commitment, discreet tenderness and humor of Wladimir Turiansky.
