Shunning the picturesque beauty of postcard-perfect Greece, Anna Wich chose to turn her lens onto the neglected faces of the country: daily life in the city, places and peoples, the old district of Elaionas that has turned into a disadvantaged neighborhood, stray cats... But also onto the true relation between modern Greece and Antiquity, as well as onto the magic of the sea. However, Anna Wich's creative identity is only an excuse for a deeper reflection. A reflection on the identity of a German woman,who was born after WWII, who was nurtured in a Europe where everything is cast into doubt and who chose to live in an introverted, almost agoraphobic Greece. It's also a reflection on our country that didn't succeed in embracing the ideas of progress, of emancipation from the national legend, of a creative dialogue with the Western world to which Greece chose to belong... A documentary film on loss. Written by Thessaloniki Documentary Festival See less
