Summary

Morizok embarks on a journey through phantasmagorical landscapes of his own dream to become dream tamer – the one who walks the endlessness. But he must meet Damjan, the man in whose dreams he lives. Morizok has been in Damjan’s dreams all along, and had a life of his own. Yet, none of them believed the other was real. One day Morizok saw a droplet into which the sea poured and wished to know a word such as that droplet, the word of truth. But he learned from the well of wisdom that the best a word can do is to become a poem with which man can tame the dreams that will take him to the world no word could ever reach. Stubborn as he was, Morizok would not listen. So he had to learn the hard way by taking a long journey of painful ordeals and bitter solitude before becoming dream tamer. Meanwhile, Damjan, a mediocre painter, went on practicing his dull artistic fakery of living. One rainy night, while riding on a bus to another exhibition, Damjan meets a mystery dream-stalker who claims to have seen Morizok in Damjan’s dream. That rainy night their paths will cross, when the bus passes through Damjan’s dream. Is Damjan ready to reach beyond the illusory boundaries of the impossible and become the dream tamer?
