Synopsis

“The Poison Well” is a story about the post-modern man, a man deprived of the safety and peace that promised the big ideas for the future, man left on his own, his own abilities and his constant search after his individuality and uniqueness. The protagonist is a wooden puppet-typical worker who carries all sorts of objects from the Well to the Goal. Brought in a world where nothing else exists but the objects and tasks that are assigned to him by the society, his life passes through, starting from the middle of the 50’s years of the 20th century, towards the near future...
