The film begins with a dream he had a little before he died, a nightmare which ends with the appearance of Domenicos Theotokopoulos (El Greco). The film ends with a liberating dream full of light. Following his dreams, Kazantzakis starts writing the chapters of his autobiography “Report to Greco” with the support of his intuitive companion Eleni. All these chapters will be brought to life in a flashback, as a continuous journey to the places he visited in his lifetime: Mount Athos, Mount Sinai, Paris, Vienna, Berlin, Moscow, Antibes and Beijing and at the same time, representing the “spiritual” path of the author who keeps searching, wanting to understand Christ, the Buddha, Nietzsche, Lenin, and his ancestor Odysseus and the big womb which is represented by the Aegean Sea and the Greek Light. Armed with the consciousness of his surroundings and his spirituality, he completes his \u201cpath\u201d with the “Cretan glance” that eventually leads him towards freedom by defying death. Through this long journey of the soul towards freedom and after facing many difficulties and adventures, Nikos Kazantzakis succeeds in creating his universal work. This great work is the pillar of the Greek spirit today and during these difficult times we are going through, it can succeed in comforting and consoling the tormented souls of future viewers.<\/p>\n
