Ilats’ (2024)

Ilats'

A mother and a daughter reveal bits of their past life. They had to deal with some major political and social shifts of Greece’s recent history: civil war, exile, emigration. Their narrative has the value of oral history. Yet, it goes further. Kokona and Chrysoula speak about the need to come to terms with their traumas. Ilats’ means “healing.” Sorry no trailer for this one 😉

An 11 minutes documentary by Elissavet Laloudaki and Massimo Pizzocaro.
