SYNOPSIS
In an empty lot in the Petralona area of Athens, we witness the flow of life through three seasons: In autumn, a fairground is set up, turning into a soccer field for the neighborhood children in winter and transforming into a stadium for the school's gymnastic shows in spring. Theodoros Maragos, portraying how life shaped in one of Athens' disadvantaged neighborhoods in the 1970s, captures the passage of time in the profound marks it leaves on people. Using simple tools and an extraordinary internal rhythm, he vividly portrays a space while turning seemingly trivial things into a form of political poetry.
Thodoros Maragos (1944)
He was born in the village of Filiatra in Messenia, in the south-west of the Peloponnese. The first film he directed in 1969, “Tsuof”, was selected Best Short Film in Thessaloniki. After animations and documentaries, his first fictional feature film in 1973, “Lavete theseis” received the Best New Director Award in Thessaloniki. The 1981 production “Learn How to Read and Write, Son” which made him renowned, is considered to be one of the best anti-junta films of all time.
