Fando & Lis

Once upon a time, a long, long time ago, there was a mystical city called Tar. And at that time, all the cities were intact
and flourishing — there were no ruins, because the final war had not yet
begun. When the great catastrophe occurred, all the cities crumbled.
Except Tar. Tar still exists. If you know where to look for it, you will
find it. And when you get there, you will be presented with wine and
water, and you could play with a gramophone. When you get there, you
will help harvest grapes and you will pick up scorpions hidden under
white rocks. When you get there, you will know eternity. You’ll see a
bird that drinks one drop of water from the ocean every hundred years.
When you get there, you’ll understand life. You’ll become a cat,
phoenix, swan, elephant, baby and an old man. You’ll be alone and
accompanied. You’ll love and be loved, you’ll be everywhere, and yours
will be the seal of seals. As you approach the future, you’ll find
ecstasy, and it will never abandon you.

— Alejandro Jodorowsky, ‘Fando y Lis’ (1968)
