Why we chose it

A group of friends who made history, set against the backdrop of a Greece that (doesn't) change, with the songs of our best years as the soundtrack. Few films in contemporary Greek cinema have been as beloved as Truants. Watch it, and you'll understand why.

Synopsis

The relationships, changes, and conflicts among six childhood friends from Salamina unfold over a period spanning from the triumphant 1987 EuroBasket victory to the 1994 FIFA World Cup and the Greek national team's disappointing performance.
