Synopsis

Devastated by the economic crisis, the center Athens becomes the tragic setting of characters who share their reflection at home, at the bar or simply walking through the streets. Characters who, despite the hardship, find mutual support to be a place to resist from and to carry out their own particular revolution. (JY)
