SYNOPSIS

The film, using over 120 postcards and photographs, takes its inspiration from a letter collection discovered by Lakis Papastathis in an antique shop. These letters were sent by Anastasios to his homeland Gytheio over a fifty-year period after his migration to America in 1905. They bear witness to how a nation, forced into migration, was severed from its roots.
