El vino del que el ego no puede beber. La leyenda del santo bebedor (Ermanno Olmi, 1988).

In this paper we follow the journey of the protagonist of Ermanno Olmi's film The Legend of the Holy Drinker (La Leggenda del santo bevitore, 1988), an exiled being, a homeless vagabond, who one fine day receives a visit, next to one of the bridges that crosses the River Seine, from a messenger who shows him the way by entrusting him with a task that is as surprising as it is unexpected. We accompany Andreas in his vicissitudes to carry out this task and fulfil his commitment. Wine will be the intoxicating elixir that will help him discover what is miraculous about life, as well as its ultimate meaning. Our character will then be able to die in peace. The texts that have served as a reference in this exploration are El espejo de las almas simples by Margarita Porete and Biografía de la luz by Pablo d'Ors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
