  • Year: 1981
  • Description: In 1900, a gang of bandits abducts a young bourgeois (Kostas Arzoglou) and flees to the mountain, expecting ransom money in return for his freedom. The youth develops a friendship with the gang chief (Alexis Damianos) and realizes that the life of these lawbreakers is far more authentic than his own. There are references to Vizyinos, Papadiamantis, traditional popular culture: old brochures, mythical figures, Romaic traditions and rituals, and deep faith/religiousness, always against the backdrop of rural Greece.
