Park

Athens Olympic Village, ten years after the 2004 Games: wild youths, injured retired athletes and stray dogs among ruins and decaying sports venues. The location is a potent symbol of the country’s economic, social and existential collapse. Within, a humanity without a goal is consuming its days in the flow of lazy hours, in a false movement that contains all the desperation of a Greek crisis – that is global. Harmony Korine and Larry Clark’s style looms large in the raw and poetic vision of Sofia Exarchou, in her drama about those who were sacrificed to the inhumane economic system.
