Summary/Abstract: The paper focuses on the cinematic presentation of the emotional atemporality in director Terrence Malick’s world. A historical analysis of his 2012 To the Wonder underlies this study. Love, quest for love and obsessive fear of losing it is what the storyline deals with. Malick delves deep into the intimate world of a couple in love, showing beyond speech and language – the coming, transformation and the end/endlessness of love, searching to study the intertwinement of imagination and reality; how the storyline is getting built and changed in the mind of both the protagonist and the viewer. The line between imagination and reality is constantly blurred and references to Christianity and faith render the story deep. A number of issues are raised of desire and passion, of which is ‘wrong’, of the generally accepted and ‘moral’ social behaviour.
