The Photograph

September 1971, Kastoria, Greece. Armed with shy courage and the picture of a photogenic female singer, Ilias, the son of a communist living in Georgios Papadopoulos' Greece, summons up the strength to leave forever behind his birthplace and ailing mother. Having nothing to lose, Ilias emigrates to France to create a better future for himself, determined to become a furrier and learn the tricks of the trade from his misanthropic, self-exiled distant relative, Yerassimos. But there, a seemingly innocuous fabrication will drag both men into a cruel, harsh world of false promises and impatient expectations, culminating in a climactic, tragic finale.
