Synopsis

 

 

 

“The mother of all the battles”, “the derby of the eternal enemy” and nowadays the “civil war”… In the streets of Athens, Eric Cantona meets the people injured by the recession to speak to them, to listen to them. He goes to the mythical places of this crisis, like the garden of the Syntagrama Square where a 77-years-old man suicided himself because of his retirement reduced by govermental decision, which did not permit him to live with dignity. Like a shadow carried on the Athens streets, his tall figure reminds us the absurdity of financial drift, which brought all the Greeks in a disaster. The derby between Olympiakos The Piraeus and Athens Panathinaikos reflects the Greek situation. Tragic, burning and taken away by the whirlwind of the crisis which is destroying the country since 2008.
