synopsis
Fleeing political turmoil in Greece, Ilias travels to Paris and seeks out Gerasimos, a homesick relative working there as a furrier. A misunderstanding involving a photograph that Ilias has brought with him leads each man into a tangled web of deception and delusion that lays bare their complex relationships to their homeland.
Nico Papatakis brilliantly dissects the soul of modern Greece in this darkly comic, cuttingly perceptive exile’s tale.
Criterion
A fierce comment on the modern history of the country and the power of the collective imaginary.
