Island of the Dead
A journey out of time, from an ordinary apartment to our final destination, guided by Charon, the smuggler of the Underworld. The horizon is the same for everyone, immutable, inevitable. The question is, in all times, in all civilizations, always the same: what is there after? Is there only something?

Island of the dead
Island of the Dead is a free adaptation of Arnold Böcklin's 1883 painting of the same name. More famous than its painter, the painting or its reproduction can be found in the homes of Freud, Lenin and Hitler. Generations of artists have drawn inspiration from it, including Dali, Chirico and Sergei Rachmaninov, whose symphonic poem based on the painting forms the film's soundtrack.
