SYNOPSIS

Athens Olympic Village, ten years after the Games: wilding youths, injured retired athletes and stray dogs among ruins and decaying sports venues.

DIRECTING INTENTION

Through the intersecting stories of the kids of the Olympic Village, Park tries to create the
portrayal of a lost generation that has been deprived of its future. Among the abandoned
sport facilities, the ruins and the new-money tourist resorts, the film crosses Greece’s “glorious”
past with the decadence of today, depicting a society unprepared for the brutal fall. In this
remnant from the past, the kids' need to belong is vital and their efforts increasingly violent
and futile.
