The winter reigns as the Traveler crosses by feet an ancient landscape. In this place there’s also another presence, someone who’s very similar to the Traveler. Does the Traveler realise this figure that cohabits the same space as him? Is the other a guardian angel or a devil?

Declaration
film director
“The protagonist from In the Traveler’s Heart, the Traveler, represents an image of self-sufficiency and bravery, but at the same time of great ingenuousness. The Traveler carries with him everything he needs, like a ronin – a samurai without a master. On the other hand he is haunted by solitude and the wild nature.”
