Locked in a cage of loneliness, Prospero opens a volume of the world’s classics and talks with Miranda about exile and the exiled who are nothing else than spirits; he talks about an island separated from the world. He talks with Miranda – his daughter or his soul, his illusion, and the only life existing at his side. He loves her, he’s afraid for her, and finally, he’s afraid of her ... Cherished, protected, and in a fit of fever despised – freedom.
On the island of Prospero and Miranda, only hope is real: the hope that perhaps they can be saved. As the spirit striving for freedom has the power to do incredible things: to bring back to life from helplessness, from incapability; it can take off and fly. It even has the power to transform reality.
