Today is Tuesday but Iro is not at school. Instead she's at home and she's ready to set off on a Journey with her mom and a Super Hero towards Lake Stymphalia.

The film takes place in Thessaloniki, in an Orwellian society where the Party has banned the popular local food, bougatsa, as part of its plan to make Thessaloniki an unremarkable part of the Realm of Athens.

The film was produced by students from the Department of Journalism and Mass Media Communication at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki.
