A reporter notices an old man in a border town who may be an important Greek politician who disappeared mysteriously years ago.

On the morning of the World Cup final, Karamanos, an employee of the Greek Telecommunications Organization (TOE), connects his commander's personal computer to a devilishly complex and explosive device. He threatens to blow up the floor and the satellite dishes above if he is not allowed to appear on the national network 10 minutes before the football match to denounce all the wrongs that plague the lives of Greek citizens and make them victims of a partisan and corrupt state.

Sergei Paradjanov, the great Soviet filmmaker of Armenian origin who was born and grew up in Tbilisi, Georgia, studied film in Moscow and worked for many years in Ukraine, talks on camera to Fotos Lamprinos about his life, his films, and events in the USSR under Gorbachev’s Perestroika, a few short months before he died and while the state of his health was already deteriorating. The film includes rare footage of the massacre of Georgian civilians by the Soviet Army in April 1989 and unpublished material from the Ukrainian prison in which Paradjanov served his sentence.

By the 14th century, the Byzantine Empire was, if not on the verge of actual collapse, at least seriously decadent and clearly on its last legs. The hungry wolves of Europe were preparing to dine on its corpse, and as a result the Byzantine army and its allies were constantly engaged in battles and skirmishes. In this story, a widow lives in the 14th-century Byzantine village of Doxobus with her son Xenos. She forms a relationship with a village elder, and when she gives birth to the elder’s son, her son from her previous marriage is sent to live in a monastery.

An end of study film for this film director who graduated from the Gerasimov Institute of Cinematography (VGIK) in Moscow, it was produced from audiovisual archives found in Russia. Inspired by the film "Triumph over Violence", produced in 1965 by Mikhail Romm, a study director and film director, "Visit Greece" tells the story of the first tourists – usually armed and not invited – to visit Greek territory at various periods of its history.

The film is dedicated to the centennial of cinema and, through a pastiche of excerpts from Balkan silent films, pays tribute to a cinema that has been almost completely forgotten. Old photographs and a modern- day train trip through the Balkans highlight the coincidences, the similarities, and the affinities that link Balkan filmmakers. A film about all the things that unite the neighbouring countries of the peninsula, which, perhaps, are many more than the things that divide them.

1917-1933. The Bolshevik Revolution – Holodomor. The greatest Utopia mankind has ever known. An Utopia that shocked the world and was buried in mass graves along with millions of victims. The film narrates the global influence of the Revolution, the establishment of dozens of Communist Parties, the hopes created in millions of people around the world and this so full of promise yet tragic course of “The Great Utopia.” The film is a tribute to the centenary of the October Revolution (1917-2017)
