“Shadows Of Dreams” focuses on how people can have a totally different perception of time. People, whose profession relies on beating the limits of time and how they face those limits in their life.
A professional dancer and new mother, in a foreign country, while approaching her mental and physical maturity.
A young lighthouse keeper, facing how loneliness can be. And an older one, living with the memories of the past and looking at his future.
An experienced and passionate Finnish running the “Spartathlon”, one of the world’s toughest ultra-marathons. How does he feel when he realizes, that he won’t make it to the finish line? Is it like a wild animal, chasing you?
In the stories of those people, time is part of their existence, it formulates their desires, goals, limits. They all realize how time can float, be slow or crucial to their professional obligations; and at the same time, how different it can be when it comes to their personal lives.
We observe the final days of a love story between two young people in a country town. They meet in deserted carriages and in fields outside the factories. The boy tries to talk her into going to Athens with him.
