Abstract
The paper presents, describes and analyzes the screenplay entitled Slow homecoming, by Wim Wenders, which was written in 1982 and has never been filmed. The work is an adaptation of the homonymous tetralogy by Peter Handke and represents a shift in landscape aesthetics, both in film and literature. This work led me to ask more specific questions about the role of the script in narratives that make up a certain history of cinema. Furthermore, I gradually discovered the meaning and value of a script, whether historical or narrative, for a nonexistent film. The script is defined as an archive, as conceived by Jacques Derrida, who also points to the future and might announce spectral aspects of film history.
