To Agori Troi To Fagito Tou Pouliou

The film tells the story of 23-year-old Yorgos living in contemporary Athens. He has a beautiful singing voice but no job, no money and nothing to eat. To slightly stave off his hunger, he shares the seeds with his only attachment figure, a canary. Yorgos has to struggle against all odds, but mostly against his own foolish pride that prevents him from asking for help. Ektoras Lygizos lets the audience witness three days in the life of his protagonist – from alienation, hunger and psychosis to the universal story about unemployment – and shows an unadorned snapshot of a land in transition.
