| Summary: | Werner Weick and Andrea Andriotto undertake the colossal task of telling the story of the Apocalypse from the perspectives of the East and the West; they inquire about the past and the future, between memory and prophecy, about the struggle between light and darkness, and the great questions of contemporary mankind. Mount Athos, or Holy Mountain, is a monastic republic, the last theocratic state in our time, where monks live among monasteries with no signs of the modern age. The great monastery's library holds thousands of manuscripts, including those of Plato, Aristotle and Homer; also in other monasteries we view enigmatic frescoes of the Apocalypse that date back to the 16th century. |
