The child bends his head over his candle. The island breeze and the psalms of the Good Friday procession cannot exorcise a persistent image…

Christos is a young Greek in London, well-integrated, successful, more English than the English. Esther is his landlady and lover. Suddenly, Melina Merkouri arrives in London to take the Parthenon Marbles back to Greece. Christos is stirred. He washes the dishes, breaks them in the manner of rebetiko fans when the music of the bouzouki stirs the blood, and returns to Athens… with Melina and the famed Parthenon Marbles.

Love story between a famous singer and a women working in a boutique. She joins his group and replaces him as the singer, while he gradually falls for alcohol and drugs.

Panayotis gambles his way out of his village near Sparta. Anthony escapes his English stately home. They meet in nighttime London, during a bloody fight. Together, they discover a new way of life.

In this short film written and directed by Alexis Bisticas, the audience sees through the eyes of a man in the woods, following the distant sound of a saxophone. In a single take, the fluid steadicam shot takes the viewer on a surreal and poetic journey, as the walker comes across everything from family picnics to men in bondage suits.

A woman asks God to give her a child, even a tiny one.

Lovers’ faces staring at the lens; at times tenderly, at times candidly, and at other times awkwardly, but always with an undercurrent of passion.
