Deniz Eroglu, one of the most promising voices in contemporary European cinema and art, caused a sensation at the last Rotterdam Festival with a feature debut that is difficult to classify. At once historical chronicle, philosophical tale and moral parable, this episodic film proposes a challenging conceptual, sensorial and cinematic journey through, as its title suggests, a tripartite narrative. If in the first part we witness a desolate New Year's Eve in an old people's home in the 1980s, the second part narrates the visit of a supposed bureaucrat to a Congolese family in the present day. The last part, the most enigmatic, narrates, without using dialogue, the journey of some wanderers in the surroundings of an enchanted forest during the Middle Ages. The film is delighted to surprise the viewer with continuous narrative, tonal and stylistic changes, although it does not neglect a powerful underlying reflection on marginality, exploitation and social or existential failure. The whole narration is also marked by a (refreshing) sense of offhand humour and a voracity of reference that certifies Eroglu as a highly original filmmaker, capable of moving through different aesthetic proposals without leaving aside a corrosive and uncomplicated discourse.
