A poet, a professor and the enigmatic guide “Stalker,” enter the post-apocalyptic “Zone”, a forbidden area rumored to contain a room that grants a person’s deepest wishes. As they journey through the surreal, desolate landscape, the film explores existential themes of faith, knowledge, and the human soul, challenging the characters’ motivations and beliefs. With its slow, meditative pacing, dreamlike cinematography, and deep allegorical layers, Stalker offers a time and space to contemplate the nature of imagination and power of dreams
