- History
In the dark middle ages, young unruly Goldmund is sent to a monastery by his father to atone for the sins of his mother, who abandoned them. There, he meets Narcissus, a brilliant, scholarly novice who is introverted and aloof. A unique and deep life-long friendship is born. Narcissus chooses to remain detached from the world in prayer and meditation. Goldmund, passionate, sensual and impulsive, runs away from the monastery to live a picaresque wanderer’s life, his amorous and artistic adventures leading him to discover the extremes of both ecstasy and pain. Several thrilling years pass until one day these friends cross paths again...
Narcissus and Goldmund is a 2020 drama film set in the medieval period, following the lifelong bond between two monastery novices whose paths diverge sharply—one choosing spiritual devotion while the other embarks on a wandering life of passion and artistic pursuit. Based on Hermann Hesse's classic novel, the film explores how two fundamentally different souls remain connected across years of separation. It's a character-driven meditation on friendship, spirituality, and the search for meaning in the Middle Ages.
