Plot
An ancient Greek philosopher, Epicurus, wrote in the first century AD, a letter to Thodorakis the neo-Greek. When Thodorakis learn about it, he travels to Italy and specifically in the area that the letter where found along with 2000 other ancient Greek texts, in order to receive it from the Italian archaeologists.
Sinekatalog’s take
A philosopher's ancient letter leads a modern Greek to travel to Italy to retrieve it from archaeologists. The documentary mixes myth, philosophy and an eccentric quest. A charming pick for fans of offbeat Greek nonfiction.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
