The 2004 Olympic Games ended on time, but what they left behind is still languishing slowly. Sofia Exarchou’s directorial debut portays a suitable and weird portrait of a lost generation who learned to regard the term "crisis" as something normal.
Synopsis
Ten years after the 2004 Olympic Games, a group of boys live among the abandoned sports facilities of the Olympic Village in Athens. The boys stroll among the ruins, setting up games and organizing dog matings to make money. Dimitris and Anna try to escape from the Village and direct themselves towards the tourist hotels of the southern suburbs. As their adventures continue and the two children enter the tourists’ lives, Dimitris’ desire for acceptance will be tested in a violent way.
