Summaries

Modern Greece as seen through the eyes of the Greek writer and director, Dimitris Kollatos.

A stage director who currently lives in the country of "economic and financial memoranda". He participates in demonstrations. He films the tough daily life in Greece. He reproduces scenes that seem unreal. People commit suicide. They burn their homes, in order to avoid the bank's property seizure. Greek youth immigrates to other countries. Children are starving, and the unemployed eat from garbage. The church is asleep. Politicians write speeches. The director, in his dreams visualises the solution.—Dimitris Kollatos

The Greek writer and director, Dimitris Kollatos, plays the French director, Jean-Luc Godard, talking about contemporary Greece and its victimization. The film, a mosaic of modern Greek sufferings, has a little bit of everything. It documents the desperate suicides of the socio-economic crisis; students who suffer from malnutrition; the Greek politicians, housewives who sell their household for food; the pained Greek mother; abandonment; the fishermen of the Aegean Sea; the Greek church; drugs and the problem of low birth rate in Greece.—Nick Riganas
