Spyros Sakkas

A blacksmith and a car mechanic, harboring a hostile relationship they inherited from their grandfathers, must come to terms with a new way of dealing with each other, when the blacksmith faces economic struggle and the mechanic offers to buy him out.

We are in Athens, in August, when the residents are away on vacation. An eccentric music teacher wanders and daydreams in the streets of the half-empty city. In the winds of Plaka, he meets Anna, a strange girl lost in her fantasies, who is always waiting for her beloved to return and take her away, as he promised her exactly one year ago when they met. The two heroes try to get closer to each other, with successive dialogues and monologues that border on the absurd.

A disillusioned forty-something wanders through a city and his past, rejected by every ideology he once believed in. Neither love nor theory can fill the void—so he stages his own theatrical death.
