Borges and Me

Borges and Me (2026)

Jay Parini finds himself stuck in a Morris Minor, chauffeuring the brilliant, blind Jorge Luis Borges through Scotland. Quiet and conservative, 23-year-old student Parini dreams of becoming a writer but is at a loss to make sense of the wild, irrepressible 70-year-old Borges. As the journey takes a surreal turn, their differences magnify until, in the tradition of a classic road trip, the two ultimately find common ground.

The film chronicles the journey of a young American PhD student, Jay Parini, on a journey across the Highlands of Scotland with the Argentinian writer Jorge Luis Borges to meet the Orcadian poet, George Mackay Brown. The film is based on Parini's 2020 "embellished" or "novelised" memoir Borges and Me: An Encounter.

Production

The director Marc Turtletaub first came across Parini's memoir in a bookshop in Hawaii. After falling in love with the story, he took the journey covered in the book looking for possible shooting locations, even before he had acquired the rights. The film was a co-production between the Netherlands, Belgium, the UK, and the U.S.
