What happens

The Dust of Time (Greek: Η Σκόνη του Χρόνου) is a 2008 Greek drama film written and directed by Theodoros Angelopoulos, and starring Willem Dafoe, Irène Jacob, Bruno Ganz, Michel Piccoli and Christiane Paul. The film is the second of an unfinished trilogy started with Trilogy: The Weeping Meadow in 2004. The final installment, under the working title The Other Sea, was left incomplete due to Angelopoulos' unexpected death in January 2012. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
