Αριστουργηματική.


Poised between narrative cinema and the poetic language that would later define his work, Angelopoulos makes an appointment with History in a politically pivotal and cinematographically essential transitional work.
On the eve of the 1936 elections, a desperate prisoner, accused of murdering a trade unionist, takes a member of parliament hostage in his cell, in an attempt to pressure the authorities into securing his release.
