Cloudy Sunday
Against the backdrop of a German-occupied Thessaloniki during the tumultuous 1943, the forbidden love between two hopeless dreamers, Yorgos, a rebellious Christian carpenter, and Estrea, a strong-willed Jewish girl, finds refuge in a small but busy tavern: the town’s historic “Ouzeri Tsitsanis”. There, under the Nazis’ heavy thumb, the monumental and prolific composer, Vassilis Tsitsanis, is inspired to write some of his most memorable songs, including the haunting and heartbreaking “Cloudy Sunday”.
Song of Goats

Stelios
The touching story of a child from a Pontic refugee family who managed to survive and thrive against all odds, thanks to his immense talent and resilience in the face of social and personal challenges. Music, love, family, friends, fishing, creativity, people of the night, hardcore fans, and intense conflicts come together to create the mosaic of his life. This film is a tribute to a legendary singer, whose voice touched the hearts of all Greeks around the world. A film for those who loved him and those who wish to discover him.
