Fils De Grece: Children of Greece
The odyssey of five children, among the 60,000 who were taken away from their homes during the Greek civil war and led to institutions inside and outside of Greece. Today, the granddaughter of one of the children reconstructs that odyssey with the help of two bloggers who, as it is revealed, have central role in the case. Central role, that claims for herself as she experiences the children's drama (some of them are the real persons) and 'identifies' herself with her grandmother. 'A fiction film-composition of 'dramatized' archive material and reenactment (with actors and people who have experienced the events) about a repressed chapter of the Cold War brought to the fore by today's events'.
