He cogitates on how he has experienced love, death (partly in the form of the Plague), treason and self-fulfilment by becoming an artist and through the relationships that ensued. Between work and rest, nightfall and dawn, the two reflect on the past, the bond that drew them together when Goldmund first defended the quiet Narcissus against bullies, and the lessons they taught each other.īut the opportunity also arises for Goldmund to start recounting the life he has lived and to reflect on the realisation that a simple life within the monastery’s walls wasn’t for him. Narcissus, who has risen to the rank of abbot, appoints him to design a new altar for the church. After a build-up focusing on their youth, the story kicks off as Goldmund returns to the monastery as a weary man, after years of travelling the world. Protagonists Narcissus ( Sabin Tambrea), an ascetic monk, and wood-carving artist Goldmund ( Jannis Niewöhner) have been friends ever since Goldmund’s father dropped his son off at the Mariabronn monastery, where Narcissus was living as a student.
