and the sun said (1970)

Sinopsis

Based on Plato's allegory of the cave this silent film takes place in an enclosed room of five chairs, four family members sit bound by the wires of societal norms and patriarchal expectations when the elder son, having glimpsed the light of truth, returns to free his family. Will he succeed in breaking the chains of age-old customs and roles, or will the weight of tradition silence what the sun has revealed to him?
