2. Sărmanul Dionis
A poor, introspective copyist escapes his bleak reality through occult studies and visionary journeys that collapse time and identity, projecting him into a medieval past where he experiences a fated love and cosmic revelations. The shifting layers of dream and waking life blur reincarnation and destiny, inviting doubts about what is real, until a disquieting return to the present leaves the entire adventure suspended between hallucination and metaphysical truth.
