The film retraces Cavafy’s emotional development, as he grew to reach the highest levels of poetic expression. His life in Alexandria as well as his travels to Greece and Constantinople, brought him closer to the rich sensuality of ancient cultures, and even though leading him to a life of passions and deprivations, his poetry is brimming with wisdom and sensuality. Cavafy lyrically voiced an unconcealed love for ancient civilizations, despite the prudishness of his times; the latter, however, remained a factor that marked his life with bitterness and deep disappointments. His innermost desires that he did not manage to experience, became his moving spirit of his sublime poetry. <ref>https://www.alexandrosfilm.com/site/movie.php?movie=5</ref> |
