Sofia Tsimtsiou

The film takes place in Thessaloniki, in an Orwellian society where the Party has banned the popular local food, bougatsa, as part of its plan to make Thessaloniki an unremarkable part of the Realm of Athens. During these tough and dark days, a rebellious group, "The Bougatsistas", produces and trades bougatsa illegally to keep the people's spirit awakened and revolutionary. For bougatsa is not just a food... It's Thessaloniki's symbol of freedom... The film was produced by students from the Department of Journalism and Mass Media Communication at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki.
