Comedy Drama
At the age when most men are settling into routine, Paul Gompitz of Rostock sets his sights on a sun-soaked pilgrimage to Syracuse, Sicily—chasing the ghost of the poet Johann Gottlieb Seume. There’s just one catch: Paul calls the German Democratic Republic home, a nation trapped behind the planet’s most maddening fence. A legal journey? Forget it. To reach his Mediterranean dream, Paul must craft an escape that’s as daring as it is desperate, turning a poetic obsession into a high-stakes bid for freedom.
