Can You Water a Garden With Tears?

In the heart of Athens, Omonia Square stands as a paradox within the city’s rapid gentrification. While neighbourhoods are rebranded and beautified, Omonia remains suspended in time a raw, fractured landscape that the metropolis chooses to ignore. Square of the Unseen moves through this hidden world, where lives on the margins leave their silent marks: handwritten passages etched onto urban surfaces, whispers of despair, resilience, and fleeting hope. Through these words and images of a city in constant transit, the film reveals an Athens of shadows, ghosts, and truths rarely seen.
