Ioannis Tsoumarakis

The second part of a trilogy which focuses on a young Greek woman in three stages of her life as she recalls leaving her homeland of Constantinople. The trilogy is based on the infamous “Septemvriana” events of 1955 — the worst anti-Greek riots in history.

While gliding through still photographs and live action, sounds and silence, black and white and color, spoken word and voiceover, the present, the past and the future, a young Greek woman recalls significant events that take place in three different stages of her life in Turkey; stemming from feelings of separation and loss on account of leaving her homeland.

In 1935, financially strapped widow Louisa Durrell, whose life has fallen apart, decides to move from England, with her four children (three sons, one daughter), to the island of Corfu, Greece. Once there, the family moves into a dilapidated old house that has no electricity and that is crumbling apart. But life on Corfu is cheap, it's an earthly paradise, and the Durrells proceed to forge their new existence, with all its challenges, adventures, and forming relationships.

A provocative feel-good dramedy portraying the challenges faced by a lively and outspoken 30+ year old woman in a wheelchair in the labyrinth of Athens and it's inhabitants' overly political correctness.
