SYNOPSIS
One night in the spring of 1995, the camera observing life at the Larissa Train Station in Athens introduces us to the 'tenants' of the station: Antonia, Florakis, and George. The film, shot over four weeks, presents a gallery of people living at the station by following the chronological structure of a single evening: homeless individuals, soldiers, and migrants define a space where different worlds converge and coexist.
