A 68 minutes documentary about the Greek economic crisis.
The film follows four charming people living in a sunny but gloomy Athens. They are confronted by the harsh reality of the crisis; they have to fight for what is their due; they have to come to terms with absurdity. They are living in Greece, where the tragic and the comic are often intertwined.
A parliamentary candidate juggles Party discipline, left liberalism and inconvenient truths. An unpaid employee deals with his political disillusionment and his anti-German rage with self-deprecating humor. Two people in love realize they are the odd ones out. They are artists, two beautiful dreamers.
It is said that living in interesting times is a curse. This playful film, with interference from TV “newsreels” and commercials, reminds us that it’s just life –weighed down by sadness and anger, but also full of creativity and unexpected courage.
