The film's central hero Aris lives in Athens with his agriculturist friend Thanos in an old house, which they have rented from Petros, Aris' teacher at the School of Journalism. The house comes alive mostly at night with discussions, anxieties, problems and romantic involvements of their friends. Until one day Thanos meets Stella, an actress who is a few years older than him. Her arrival in the house changes everything. A woman of strong character, she quickly makes her influence felt and events now follow rapidly. Aris, terrified, takes refuge in the past: in his village, which is also about to be destroyed, like Athens, like our planet.
Our institutions have been stuck on linear Neo-Platonic tracks for 24 centuries. These antiquated processes of deduction have lost their authority. Just like art it has fallen off its pedestal. Legal, educational and constitutional systems rigidly subscribe to these; they are 100% text based.
The various states of viewing nudity entered the Ottoman world on postcards before paintings. These postcards appeared in the 1890s, and became widespread in the 1910s, following the proclamation of the Second Constitutional Monarchy, traveling from hand to hand, city to city.
The Greek god Apollo and his son Asklepios presided over the realm of medicine and healing. Apollo was also the god of light and sun, whose solar symbolism and association with medicine would become linked to Christ the Physician, and the resurrected.
