Kamakia - Die Helden der Insel

2011 · 37 min · Documentary

Documentary filmmaker Kosta Rapadopoulos travels to his homeland and interviews older men about their amorous adventures with female tourists, who flocked to Greece en masse in the 1970s. We listen to the story of a rapprochement between different cultures: here the impetuous "Greek lover", cooked for by his mother until marriage, and there the emancipated woman who takes the pill! His research leads him to the legendary "Kamakia" - the heroes of the island who gave themselves up to meet the special needs of women. A search that almost pushes Rapadopoulos to his limits.

When Peppi (36) finds out he wasn’t invited to the class reunion, his self-image starts to crack. Fuck! Forgotten? Uninvited? – This must be a mistake! Searching for answers, we follow Peppi to his old hometown and back to the past of his 16-year-old self: Skateboarding with bleached tips through the monsoon of the 2000s. The era of flip phones, lan parties, and Top of the Pops. But alongside the wild, nostalgic memories lurk some dark teenage sins. Maybe there are reasons why Peppi shouldn’t have been invited after all. CHABOS is like an old Facebook profile you’ve scrolled too far down — full of shame.
