Creative Notes:
Wider learning makes for wider choices in life. The protagonists are well read, and so now it's time for the action and drama of their picaresque journeys to be lived out.
The Triumph of Life, Love, and Being
A monk and a nun, in a monastical village, exchange notes, via the books they send back and forth for illustration and editing, they noting the forbidden knowledge therein. They soon meet, in the nunnery's crypt, and must then travel the countryside, when the village burns.
Synopsis:
A monk and a nun to-be, in a monastical village, exchange notes, via the books they send back and forth for illustration and editing, they noting the forbidden knowledge therein. Thus begins their relationship. They soon meet, in a crypt, after the monk finds the key to opening the secret door to the nunnery, and there the loving escalates. When the monastical village burns to the ground, they embark on a picaresque journey, in which they employ their wisdom as they encounter various and sundry situations, while ever traveling onward, through a landscape of forests, flowers, mountains, and deserts. They carry a special, speaking, book that they salvaged from the monastery's library, from which they live what is written, but, really, must live truly it and/or witness it before it can be written as fact. It is, well, a different kind of book/movie; self-help, I suppose. One more thing: they speak in rhyme.
