Released in 1996, Cynara: Poetry in Motion is a romantic drama that distinguishes itself through its literary heart. The title itself is a nod to the famous poem "Non Sum Qualis Eram Bonae Sub Regno Cynarae" by Ernest Dowson, which features the iconic line: "I have been faithful to thee, Cynara! in my fashion."
If you recognize this phrase – if you were on a forum in 2002, if you encoded a short film called Cynara , if “mtrjm” was your handle – please reach out. Leave a comment. Let’s unerase this thing. But if we never find the original, that is also fine. The fragment can stand alone.
Set in the remote seaside village of Baycliff in 1883, the story follows the chance meeting of two creative souls: A sculptor living in isolation.
