A series of independent, self-contained documentaries presenting literary personalities, poets or prose writers, always in relation to the social reality that contributed to the shaping of their work. In order to better "approach" them, the episodes present footage from public and private archives, while professors and scholars speak about them and their work, with the aim of enriching the viewers' knowledge with new perspectives.
Today:
Myrtiotissa
Episode 6
Myrtiotissa attends the renowned Hill Girls’ School in Plaka during the last decade of the 19th century. She doesn't seem particularly interested in school; instead, she shows an early interest in theatre. Her family, as is customary for their social class at the time, does not approve of these the activities. Thus, Myrtiotissa inevitably turns to poetry.
Directed by: Tassos Psarras
