| Summary: | Coproduction: Austria, Bulgaria
There is no road to Sulina. You can only get to this bizarre place by river or by sea. Nevertheless, Sulina is not an island. Squeezed into the land between the many branches of the river, Sulina is the town of the Danube Delta. In the past, almost 100 years ago, the town was the third largest harbour in Europe. Today, Sulina is slowly dying, dreaming about a united Europe. What has happened to this place, isolated from the world? In 1933 Eugeniu Botez, a commandant of the harbour of Sulina, wrote a novel called Europolis under the name of Jean Bart. A year later he died. In this strange novel Jean Bart prophesies that one day nothing will be left of the town, once full of life. With the death of Europolis Europe will be slowly dying in agony. A few years later his prophecy started to come true. |
