TRAVELLING GHOSTS
synopsis
A Greek filmmaker finds himself in Trieste, Italy, where he plans to shoot a film, following the footsteps of the Greek revolutionary Rigas Feraios around Europe in the Age of Enlightment. While visiting the Greek Orthodox cemetery, a small crowd of ghosts of the 18th century personalities decides to follow his path. Are these characters figments of the director's imagination or are they real phantoms who cross path with him? What is happening to all these ghost characters travelling through centuries?
