Labyrinth
For centuries the labyrinth has evoked more than just a set of corridors and riddles — it has become a symbol of life, in which it is easy to lose oneself in an endless network of choices and traps. Ancient myths, such as that of the Cretan Labyrinth and the Minotaur, show how complex structures can both inspire and overwhelm. Today the image of the labyrinth finds its place in art, literature, psychology, and computer games, where it symbolizes both the process of discovery and disorientation in the face of life's challenges.
The series tells of people entangled by small towns.
