February 26 – 7pm – Room 2 | March 1 – 7:15pm – Room 1

 

In a world dominated by the pandemic and violence, a few portraits of daily life. Questions about paternity, the aloofness and the silence among people, the completion of love, despair. The civil services in a weary country. Who is sane and who is mad? Another depiction of modern times by Greek master Vassilis Mazomenos, a habitué of Fantasporto and honoured with the festival’s Career Award in 2001.
