Film Description:
In 1960, a treaty was signed between Greece and Germany that led almost 600.000 Greeks to immigrate and live as workers in the factories and mines of Germany. Descendants of this migration stream, Teo, Aglaia and Vasso, allow us a glimpse of their daily lives and reveal the effects of that massive population movement on the present and the future: the “meeting” of two cultures and the interaction in today’s socio-political developments. Through them we can recognize the undercurrent that drives their lives and connects them, while at the same time we are meeting the third generation of immigrants, who are neither “foreigners”, nor Germans or Greeks, but in a way citizens of the world, freed from the often limited traditional concept of Homeland.
