Archipels, granites dénudés

Athens 2014. Between bereaved desires and lost hopes, a film diary bangs against the walls of the city. The daily life of a country in crisis, the individual issues that confront the political. Can we still ask the simplest questions?
While Daphné Hérétakis is reading from a diary caught between sentimental setbacks and rushing ahead, a portrait of contemporary Greece looking for meaning is implicitly sketched out. As youth feels itself ageing, questions persist and the desire for liberty is tinged with idleness in a country with memories of splendour. A resolutely modern film, full of poetry, in search of the truth.
