We get so little backstory but one piece of information we get is that he had been in prison for a significant period of time to the point where like he had barely met his daughter monkey. So I think she's worried that he'll get arrested and returned to prison. That's one kind of surface explanation. But I also think it's very hard on him. He's kind of tormented by the cynicism of the writer and professor. When he comes back it takes a lot out of him. I think it's also why the wife loves him but you could see like what is their life normally? This is my question.
It’s the episode that Tamler has been waiting for – a long deep dive into Andrei Tarkovsky’s mysterious masterpiece "Stalker." A writer and professor are led by their guide (Stalker) into a cordoned off “zone” that may have been visited by a meteorite (or aliens) a couple of decades earlier. Their destination – a room in the zone that according to legend grants people their deepest desire, the one that has made them suffer the most. We gush over Tarkovsky’s filmmaking, his use of sound and music, and the richness of the questions this movie raises about meaning, art, delusion, desire, science, and faith.
