About this film

Twelve chapters. Forty-four stories. One question: how does a good teaching stay alive, when its source has passed? Where does the distinction begin between what is certain and what is assumed?

This film brings the second book of De Kosaris into image, music and spoken text. Two voices alternate: a narrator carries the frames, and Kosus himself speaks the sentences that appear in quotation marks in the book.
