Ginsberg, Kerouac, Burroughs: oggi questi nomi sono diventati icone, pietre di paragone per un movimento che ha riscritto le regole della letteratura americana, gettato le basi per cambiamenti sismici nella cultura popolare. Ma cosa erano prima della gloria? Erano dei ragazzi. Nel 1944, Allen Ginsberg era una nervosa e puritana matricola alla Columbia University. Jack Kerouac era uno slavato universitario tornato agli studi dopo aver resistito otto giorni in Marina. William S. Burroughs aveva abbandonato la facoltà di medicina e stava diventando un giovane tossicodipendente, sopravvivendo ai margini della scena bohemienne newyorkese.

Sidney Hall nasconde un talento precoce per la scrittura. Gli scritti che legge in aula mostrano un pericolo che alcuni trovano scoraggiante, finché un insegnante non riconosce il suo talento e lo sollecita a perseguire una carriera di scrittore. Il primo romanzo fa di Sidney una celebrità, anche se le sue osservazioni sui sobborghi distopici producono esiti tragici in alcuni giovani lettori.

Quando lo scrittore perde ormai tutte le speranze e scompare dalla vita pubblica, un detective trova la risposta a quel mistero.

The Wake is the title of a large-scale multimedia project, the main element of which is an eight-hour long silent movie. The film is based on Finnegans Wake by James Joyce (London 1939), a limit-transgressing, perhaps even limit-dissolving book that not only transgresses the limits of what literature is and is capable of, but inscribes transgressions on almost all conceivable levels. It is at the same time dream book, history book and necrology. It is almost impossible to determine whether we are dealing with a long poem, a prose narrative or a piece of drama.

From dozens of cities, you will always recognize your city – you will recognize it by its squares, by its streets, by its colors, by its breath, by its joys and troubles, and by its love. Four directors will tell four romantic love stories in our city: the love of spouses who have already begun to forget about it; the love of wayward parents for children; the love of life, beautiful and disturbing, and even the love of the very feeling of love. The characters of the film are worried and happy, work honestly, walk noisily and look for love without end. The beating of their hearts is the rhythm of the city. Recognize your city in every frame and look at Yakutsk, which you did not know.
