About
Emil Sinclair is torn between a monochromatic understanding of the world of childhood and the ambiguity of adulthood. As Emil dives deeper, he's caught in a swirling journey where dreams and desire are indistinguishable from reality. His path is lined with bizarre encounters. Maybe a strange boy with a mouth full of biblical riddles can help him find his way. Demian is a reinterpretation of the novel "Demian" written by Hermann Hesse and published in 1919.
