An apocalyptic vision of man after a cosmic catastrophe, this film is a terrifying metaphor of a dehumanized future.

We are in Athens, in August, when the residents are away on vacation. An eccentric music teacher wanders and daydreams in the streets of the half-empty city. In the winds of Plaka, he meets Anna, a strange girl lost in her fantasies, who is always waiting for her beloved to return and take her away, as he promised her exactly one year ago when they met. The two heroes try to get closer to each other, with successive dialogues and monologues that border on the absurd.

From Homer to Vamvakaris, the first and definitive History of Rebetiko Song, by Kostas Ferris, as it has never been presented before. Eight hours of enthralling revelation of the secrets of the most important cultural creation of the Greek state, featuring dozens of songs—both original recordings and reinterpretations—and speakers including the most distinguished scholars of Rebetiko and its surrounding themes.

A Costas Ferris' short featuring two of the best greek songs. Back in 1961 this film was expelled from Thessaloniki Film Festival because of the lyrics of these songs. They belonged to the rembetiko genre that used to over-emphasize the pleasure of using drugs. The worst thing was that Acropolis was shown in a plan and that lead the government to completely ban the film as anti-touristic!
