Synopsis

A mysterious echo from the past. One mans suicide attempt and his struggle to return among the living. The allegory of a famous Bruegel painting and a poem by W. H. Auden. The redemptive power of art and literature. Set primarily in Montreal, Landscape with the Fall of Icarus traverses the narrators youthful past in Eastern Europe to his arrival as an immigrant to Canada while weaving an intricate literary tapestry blending the pain of exile with the persistent search for meaning and home. Part memoir and part confession, this erotically charged tale explores the quixotic aspects of desire, the nature and origin of suffering, and how compassion and forgiveness lie at the very depth of our humanity.
