Synopsis

The documentary explores the writer’s literary works and offers possible reasons as to why he is said to be rightly considered the most successful, possibly the most awarded Slovenian writer among mountain climbers, or mountain climber among writers.

The documentary film Apparitions of Trieste, of Words and Wind in the Life of Dušan Jelinčič is a retrospective of Dušan Jelinčič's literary works that at the same time offers a multifaceted portrait of Jelinčič's personality. He is presented as an intellectual, a writer with a remarkable bibliography, a climber, a journalist, a patriotic Slovene from Trieste. The documentary offers a range of potential answers as to why Jelinčič should be considered the most successful writer among Slovenian climbers or the most successful climber among writers - and arguably one with the most awards. The film highlights the central feature of his works, which is manifested in the change of perspective. It is this change, the presentation of this inner mental struggle of a (strong) individual in an extreme situation - be it in a rope party climbing or in fascist solitary confinement - that is the guiding line throughout the entire narrative of Apparitions of Trieste, of Words and Wind in the Life of Dušan Jelinčič.
