Synopsis
Autobiographical in nature, this film concerns a Soviet writer visiting Italy to research the life of an expatriate Russian novelist. Longing for his family and homeland, yet wrestling with his desires for his Italian translator, he must come to terms with his own life and the strange world around him. This is clearly Tarkovsky's most tormented personal vision reflecting his own trauma while living in self-imposed exile.
