The Road to Tarascon

The Road to Tarascon

Darkness on the Edges of WordsAccording to Boronski, “The Route to Tarascon”, inspired by Van Gogh’s painting “The Painter on the Road to Tarascon”, is about embracing one’s fate, or “amor fati”, on a path through a world where history repeats itself through migration, war, and advancing technology. In this context, humans are sometimes driven by the past, then by the present, or influenced by hope or fear for a future that ultimately transforms humans into digital beings. The film highlights the experiences of migrants through the years, telling their own stories of displacement, adaptation, and survival across different eras. Central to the narrative is Vincent van Gogh, who symbolically pursues his own fate through a landscape marked by repeating history. These individual stories reflect the universal themes of struggle, hope, and transformation, embedded in the perpetual cycles of war, migration, and technological advancement.
