Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Eternity and a Day is a 1998 film from Greece directed by Theo Angelopoulos.Alexandros (Bruno Ganz) is a well-known and successful writer, and a widower, his wife Anna having died some years before. Unfortunately, he is also dying of cancer. He has a daughter, but they are distant enough that she won't even take in his dog when Alexandros tells her he's leaving town (it's for more tests, although he doesn't tell her about his illness).While he's waiting at a traffic light, a street urchin runs up and starts washing his windshield. The urchin is one of a squad of urchins, and when the cops show up to arrest them, Alexandros saves his urchin, ushering the boy into his car and driving away. Alexandros and the boy form a bond. Meanwhile, Alexandros keeps having daydreams where he remembers his late wife Anna.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Flashback: There are many flashbacks to a family party by the beach on the day of Anna's baby shower. They're sort of like Pensieve Flashbacks in that Alexandros is fully immersed in them, except that he's actually participating in them, playing the part of his decades-younger self.

Due to the Dead: The urchin's little buddy Selim is struck by a bus and killed while doing the windshield wiping routine. The urchin and his fellow urchins have a little impromptu memorial service where they light a flame and wish Selim could tell them where he is.
