Pericles by Shakespeare on the Road

The movie is based on the Shakespearean tragedy 'Pericles. Prince of Tyre' and maintains the original language of the text. The story takes place in a green area delimited by highways. A group of immigrants and homeless wake up at dawn. Gower starts the interpretation of the text of Shakespeare, which it will be carried out almost until the end by the same group of people living in this surreal garden of Eden. The story is the dream of the little girl Marina, who lives with his father, Pericles, who is dying, in a post-atomic society. The film is a metaphor of the crisis of the role of the father in Western Society.
