The drama of a fallen Duke of Milan and his underage daughter, exiled castaways on a nearly deserted Mediterranean island four hundred years ago, a story of white magic, revenge, and reconciliation, which is simultaneously a resounding ode to magic, freedom, and the power of theatrical illusion, unfolds alongside The Tempest by William Shakespeare.

How many scenes can this island hold? How many cinematic worlds inhabit it? How many universes? How many wonders? "The most political element of - perhaps his last - work by Shakespeare is the space of freedom that he establishes in the imagination of the wizard Prospero and which he generously gifts to the audience with his epilogue."

Moreover, "Art can conceive a space of ephemeral freedom, where, before we become smoke, we can, thanks to the poet's generosity, wander with him, to feel as if from the substance that dreams are made of. Ephemeral, but free," notes the translator K. Alexis Alatsis in his foreword.
