Description
"Three films inspired by reading Dante's Purgatorio. The traveler emerges from Hell and arrives at a mountain 'where the human spirit is purified to become worthy of Paradise.' The films express the idea that a greater love for others is an antidote to the barbarities of the world, and that evil can be understood as a sin against love. The landscapes depicted in the films are austere, but the tone of the voiceover and intertitles is imbued with expectation and hope."
