1949, towards the end of the Greek Civil War. Yannis, the son of a rebel, is torn from his village and deported to the Childcare Cities where his ideas and desires are manipulated. Nightmares and dark feelings for his father slowly inhabit his heart. Only when he reaches adulthood does he redefine his existence, so he decides to go and meet the man. Based on the life story of Greek writer Yannis At-zakas.
“The idea of making a film from the books of Yannis Atzakas immediately stuck in my mind, be-cause in addition to the attractive way in which the author conveys his experience and the then naive-ty of his childish thinking, I realized how often the protection of children is combined with the ex-ploitation of their innocence and how this is an issue that is unfortunately still relevant in a thousand and two ways.”
