Werner Herzog takes a film crew to the island of Guadeloupe when he hears that the volcano on the island is going to erupt. Everyone has left, except for one old man who refuses to leave.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
Herzog's hypnotic meditation on fatalism and human stubbornness in the face of natural apocalypse. A strange, philosophically charged portrait of one man's choice to stay as everyone else flees the inevitable.
