Drama with a sense of humour. The story unfolds in an antique shop somewhere in the future. In an imaginary future that has retreated in a long gone yesterday. Between broken statues – fragments of the past, through legends and stories, the story of a group of Greeks comes alive like a dream or like a nightmate. Language gets forgotten, the country is long irreparably broken, people regress to predictions, superstitions, and magic acts, while some have endorsed bloody rituals that remind of primal customs. A trip in time with recognisable contemporary problems as luggage.
