During the hot summer of 2004--the year of the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens--somewhere in a small Cretan village, Andipas, a spirited twelve-year-old boy, dreams of becoming a runner. However, without a coach on his side and no real training routine, the determined boy has no other choice but to turn the whole village into his running track. Now, even the smallest of errands are a reason for a battle against the clock--but, when everything goes wrong all at once on the big day of the 200m final--a frenzied race against Andipas' friends, the villagers, and ultimately, the clock, will be on. But, will he make it in time to watch the event on TV?

The Island: The True Story poster
NR

Opposite Plaka, a beautiful village in Crete, stands Spinalonga, the island with the old Venetian fortress, the island that for decades was the mandatory place of exile for lepers. With the help of high-quality dramatizations, the stories, suffering and agonies of lepers (often referred to as "hansenists", those who suffer from "Hansen's Disease") will emerge in their attempt to secure decent living conditions. In the wake of the great television success "The Island", director Thodoris Papadoulakis is filming this dramatized documentary that was broadcast as an extra episode on Mega Channel. Doctors, sociologists, historians, people who interacted with leprosy patients, as well as cured leprosy patients who lived on Spinalonga, speak about the ancient disease, the deformities it caused, the social effects of confinement, and the struggle of those isolated on the island for better living conditions.
