A medium-length documentary that attempts to document the lives of the heroes’ statues of the Greek Revolution (1821) situated in the Athenian park of Pedion of Areos. Using tools such as observation, connotation and imagination, a narrative composition of 21 portraits of heroes emerges. Through silent narration and the use of subtitles, the statues “talk” about everything that surrounds them, share information about their lives and the lives of the sculptors who created them. They retrieve memories, facts, archival material and personal letters, in an attempt to align with the present time.

Concept, direction, editing: Ioanna Paraskevopoulou. Music: Polyphonic song “Markos Botsaris”. Production MOS.
