Dourgouti Town – GIFFT Toronto

A Real Estate Agent who is interested in investing wanders around the area of Neos Kosmos in Athens, Greece. An area formerly known as Dourgouti. Through his eyes unfolds the past, present and uncertain future of this once degraded district. A district resembling a deserted island, right next to Acropolis that follows the fate of similar neighbourhoods around the globe. A district that silently records the history of the city for the last 100 years, just before gentrification takes complete control of the area, deforming its nature.
