Tasos Raptis

A ragman meets a mysterious young woman living under a bridge. His attempt to save her appears as a chance to escape from the underworld of his memory reflected in the dark side of Athens.

The film tells the story of Lidice village, levelled and–literally–eradicated by the Nazis in retaliation for the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich in Prague. However, despite the heavy death toll it paid, the Czech village was not only erased from the map but constitutes a symbol in the fight against Fascism.

The documentary presents rare photographic archives and hitherto unknown film documents documenting the unique case of Grigoris Lambrakis. Valuable first-time material that has been specially edited to be saved and shared with the public decades later. In the documentary - among other things - Grigoris Lambrakis himself appears in the Marathon Peace March, while footage of the popular pilgrimage to his body and the grand funeral-demonstration are presented, as well as testimonies of people who knew or worked with Grigoris Lambrakis.
