The Photograph
1987, Greek. Directed by Nikos Papatakis.
A story about obsession, framed by the sad events of the military dictatorship in Greece
A young Greek man goes to Paris seeking help from a solitary and almost misanthropic distant relative who works as a furrier. With him, he takes nothing from his homeland but a photograph of a woman that he finds on the pavement. A misunderstanding regarding the photograph sets off a series of dramatic misunderstandings which trap him in a vicious circle of lies and fantasies.
