Sinopsis:
An evacuated island becomes a firing range. Old Jakub is responsible for monitoring the accuracy of the attacks. The strange old man has pronounced himself pastor of a non-existent community; he dreams of his African missionary days and of translating Virgil’s The Georgics into Swahili. One day a boy is placed under his care: back on the mainland he had attacked his mother with a knife. As Jakub’s silent companion, he takes care of the horses, works the bellows of the organ, listens to African songs and observes the explosions from a destroyed church tower. He obstinately refuses, however, to answer his mother’s telephone calls. One night the artillery fire flattens the ruins of the church and Jakub is killed. The boy sets out to sea in a small boat ...
Taking its name from the pastoral Latin poem by Virgil, this is a tale about a boy reclaiming his country and attaining manhood with the help of an old sage. Jakub lives on a deserted island used by the Russians for nighttime bombing missions. When a young felon, Maecenas, is sent to him for rehabilitation, Jakub teaches him rural ways, the island’s history and a vision of what life should be.
