The wreckt

 

Corneliu Gheorghita

"One day, my former landlady announced me that she had found some "images" in the cellar of the house. She supposed that they were mine, the images were in a black paperboard box, on the top of which was written "The WRECK”, was a small film roll, among a heap of old 16mm film pieces. The images were not mine. The landlady said perhaps they belonged to the film composer who had lived in the same house before me.
She told me that he had mysteriously disappeared in 1979. He had been seen for the last time at the Black Sea in company of an unknown young woman. Only some personal belongings were found in his abandoned tent on the beach.
