A wolf-like figure awakens in a world threatened by fire and decay. It senses that everything around it is disappearing, without understanding why—almost blind,
unable to see the obvious. But then it begins to see the truth: huge, destructive feet trample through the world, setting everything on fire, dragging the past and the future alike into darkness.
In the end, there is only one thing left for it to do: save itself.

The Aleph

Direction: Tina-Maria Feyrer

Text: Ralf Schönfelder

“The Aleph” is the seventh episode of the “Long Story Short” series—a project by Thüringer Lese-Zeichen e.V.
Jorge Luis Borges, the blind librarian of world literature, was repeatedly unlucky in love. His most famous story combines the melancholy of a lost love with a mystical experience. In a basement in Buenos Aires, his alter ego discovers the Aleph: a point in space that contains all the places in the world. In the presence of the Aleph, he not only experiences the infinite, but must also confront the nature of memory and transience.
