Director's Statement
I was born and grew up in a middle-class neighbourhood in the centre of Athens. Today it's an area with low cost rents and an even lower quality of life, where many people of different cultures and identities try to live together. Every time that I walk along the streets of my childhood, to the church square and the souvlaki restaurant with the tables outside where people gather, I'm struck by this rich image of apparent co-habitation of different cultures and classes, and at the same time of this atmosphere of hidden national tensions. It's a neighbourhood under transformation seeking for a new identity. I wanted to place the characters of my film in this City, where hidden national violence grows and where anything essential remains hidden like a secret.
