On the trip, Ines meets an old friend Paul (Michael Sheen), to whom Gil immediately becomes jealous of his beloved.

Andrei Rublev (1966, dir. Andrei Tarkovsky)
A masterpiece of the Soviet director, which is studied in film schools around the world. This is a philosophical discussion about the relationship of the artist with God, who controls the hand of the creator during the creation of the work. For Andrey Rublev (Anatoly Solonitsyn), the most valuable thing is the peace and purity of the soul, which over and over again is subjected to temptations and trials.
