Remember When

The youngest of the Antonopoulou family, the eight-year-old Angelos and storyteller, will travel with us in the late 60's, when television was slowly entering the family living rooms, in "Our Best Years".

My Name is Eftihia

A young girl, recently married, is traveling from Aidini to Greece with her mother and her two daughters. On board the ship she decides not to let life pass her by, but to live her own way. And she goes ahead! She writes endlessly wherever she can, on napkins and cigarette boxes, to bills. She smokes, she passionately falls in love, casually gambles in luxurious salons, but also in illegal basements. A teacher who becomes an actress and plays in streets and in theaters, a poet who becomes the greatest Greek folk songwriter. She collaborates with all the famous music personalities of the country, from Vassilis Tsitsanis and Apostolos Kaldaras to Manolis Ηiotis, Antonis Repanis and Manos Hadjidakis, bravely asserting herself to a cruel and typically male-dominated world.

Exploitation

Electra, was a teacher a few years ago in the industrial village "X". A decayed village under the shadow of a huge factory, not on its heyday. Lia, until a few years ago a student of Electra, was and remains beautiful. She works in “Heaven”, a local cafe owned by the 50-year-old known as "Cannibal". Lia has no way out. ntertainment and spectacle is nothing more than souped-up cars drifting on the empty lot. Electra knows that Lia deserves another kind of glory, she knows that as her teacher she has to lead her there. Electra returns. And she will take Lia with her to commit the robbery they both need: Lia to escape, Electra to tie Lia with her.

Rooster

A janitor of the Municipality of Athens, determined to give his six-year-old son the future he himself was denied, enrolls him in a private school. But his chase of the “Greek dream” turns into a tragicomic spiral of conflicts, leading to a bitter revelation: perhaps his illusions were all he truly had.

Σκερτσάκια

Pity

The story of a man who feels happy only when he is unhappy: addicted to sadness, with such need for pity, that he’s willing to do everything to evoke it from others. This is the life of a man in a world not cruel enough for him.

Chevalier

In the middle of the Aegean Sea, six men on a fishing trip on a luxury yacht decide to play a game. During this game, things will be compared. Things will be measured. Songs will be butchered, and blood will be tested. Friends will become rivals and rivals will become hungry. But at the end of the journey, when the game is over, the man who wins will be the best man. And he will wear on his smallest finger the victory ring: the Chevalier.

Standing Aside, Watching

Antigone returns from Athens to her troubled hometown, determined to keep a low profile. But this is a complex, difficult woman — her name is no coincidence — and her run-ins with the town's brutish men set a dramatic series of events in motion. A moral drama with an edge.

Shooting

One night in Athens, during the filming of a scene for a commercial, the view of the Acropolis darkens. All hell breaks loose. Not only are the Acropolis lights out, but both the cast and crew are unable to gather due to a nearby brawl. Finally, the shoot is called off altogether, when three gunshots are heard.
