Series of half-hour documentaries on various neighborhoods of Athens.

Each neighborhood corresponds to an architectural concept-word that characterizes it both physically and socially. This word serves as a guide in the perspective, the selection of characters, and the elements of each neighborhood's portrait.

Exarcheia of challenge, Kolonaki of aristocracy, Omonia of the marginalized, Kypseli of immigrants, Kaisariani of refugees, Kifissia of decentralization, Aspropyrgos of the industrial zone, Paleo Faliro of memory, Akadimia Platonos of glorious past, Ekali of the elite, Ilion of denial, Perama of shipyards, Olympic Village of youthful dominance, Gerakas of anarchic development.

Historical and new neighborhoods of Athens reveal their true nature through a conceptual game with the words that architecturally and sociologically characterize them, the people who inhabit them, and the position they claim in the new cultural map of a city that stubbornly refuses to acquire a specific identity, constantly balancing between its heavy past, transient present, and uncertain future.

Three young directors - each with their own perspective - discover the keyword of each neighborhood, overturn their apparent dynamics, renegotiate the image bestowed upon them by "urban myths," and unlock what lies behind the captivating everyday life of its inhabitants, thus completing the re-mapping of a familiar "unknown" city in the most transparent manner.

Giannis Gaitanidis introduces Gerakas as a "plot of land." With its inherent quality of being "private," the concept of a plot of land encompasses the documentary from the beginning within a framework, creating a claustrophobic context where everything within the narrative is placed. Deserted roads, heavy clouds in the sky, sounds of excavators and hammers on constructions, alternated with the guaranteed tranquility of a newly built suburb, delimit this framework.

A sense of life's immobilization dominates both still life and faces. The "typical" nature of construction (the houses - "cakes"), the "typical" everyday habits (life at home), the "typical" entertainment and social life in the area (recreation in sports and cultural centers) take the lead.

The director also uses the characters as parts of the "typical." There is the typical old Gerakas resident who has experienced the construction boom, the typical young children participating in the municipal band, the typical real estate agent marketing apartments, and the typical prospective buyers.
