Black Stone (2022) Movie Script
1
THERE ARE APPROXIMATELY 602,301
CIVIL SERVANTS IN GREECE TODAY
OF WHICH 48,646 ARE "MISSING"
AFTER BEING HIRED BY UNKNOWN
PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION BODIES.
THEY ARE KNOWN AS
"GHOSTS" OF THE CIVIL SERVICE.
He's not answering his phone.
What can I say?
You can't stay here all day.
Can we leave a message?
I'm not his secretary.
- They want to speak to Panos.
- To Panos? Isn't he here?
What is this about? Do you have
a permit to use the camera?
We have a permit,
from the director.
- What's this?
- It's for you.
Please, have one.
- What do you want?
- Do you know his address?
DOLOGLOU
Who is this?
We are looking for Mr Dologlou.
Do you know Panos?
Can we talk to him?
Why did you bring a camera?
Are you from the news?
- Has something happened to my son?
- We want to talk to him.
Could you, please, help us?
Come in, please.
He's been away for two days.
He still hasn't called.
You can help me call him again.
Come into the kitchen,
the phone is in there.
I've been trying to call his mobile
but there is no answer.
No one tells me anything.
I've called the office repeatedly.
They tell me he's away...
Some lady named Panagiota...
She says "He's not in, yet.
Please, stop calling".
How can I stop calling?
I'm trying to find my son.
Here, call this number.
Don't use these gadgets.
They'll give you cancer!
"The subscriber you have called..."
- There's no reply.
- No reply?
Yes, Panos?
Hello... What is she saying?
Panos, do you hear me?
He hung up... Oh, God!
I haven't seen him since Sunday.
He said he would go to the cinema.
He didn't come back that night.
Who did he go to the cinema with?
No one tells me anything.
Did he go alone?
Who goes to the cinema alone?
What if something happened to him?
You're from the TV news, right?
Mama, I need to take a sht.
- Come, dear.
- Who are they?
They are a TV crew,
they will help us find our Panos.
I've been telling you
not to drink so much chocolate milk.
Because you need to use
the bathroom all the time.
Come, dear.
Let's go.
Don't leave, alright?
Have a seat.
I will be right back. Don't go.
May I?
- What is this?
- A mike, so we can hear you.
Could you tell us your name?
My name is Haroula Dologlou.
- How old are you?
- 68.
Could you tell us
a few words about yourself?
I have two kids.
My husband passed away.
I have Lefteris,
who has a big problem.
And I rely on Panos.
He is a civil servant,
working at OAED. He's a gentleman.
He honours his commitments.
- Wouldn't he call?
- He doesn't call.
It's been two days and
he hasn't been to work.
I went to the Police.
- Car accident?
- Car accident?
- Car accident? Panos?
- He's asking about me.
I worry.
You must help us find him.
FOR RENThe hamster...
Is it yours?
Do you have a girlfriend?
Me? Yes.
Do you have any nude photos
of your girlfriend?
Will you send me a couple?
Sickle cell anemia.
Do you know how long it's taken me
to learn this word?
Very long.
The doctor said that it is
osteonecrosis of the hip
and we have to be careful
of his iron levels.
Once a month we have to go
to the hospital for a transfusion.
Mama!
Wake up. It's over.
Who? The brother?
He rarely comes with Lefteris.
He doesn't talk much.
He just watches TV.
Lefteris is a good kid.
Even if he swears a lot.
Maria, what did
he call you last time?
Unfckable.
When Stelios died,
it was very hard for me.
I had to keep going.
What could I do? I had two kids.
Lefteris was sick. Who could I
complain to? Lefteris?
Wait Mama... I can't see.
Thank God we had Panos.
Thank God.
When he was born, I knew
the day would come
that he'd take care of me.
How am I supposed
to make ends meet alone?
I can't work.
I have the kid... He needs
to go to the hospital once a month.
I have to take care of his medicine,
take him to the toilet,
help him off the toilet.
Take him out for a stroll.
Take him to the Internet cafe.
Taxis... It's an ordeal...
A real ordeal.
They're too big.
Not that small, dmn it.
I can't pick them up with the fork.
No need to swear, son.
How is this interesting?
Why are they filming us?
Pretend we are not here.
Where could Panos be?
He's asking you something.
He said to pretend
they are not here.
He's asking you something.
On a cruise for ssholes!
Don't swear.
Please, eat. Have a bite.
Why go hungry?
Have some bread.
You have to help us find him.
When will this finish,
so you can send it to the news?
When will we tell her
that we don't work for the news?
It must be Panos.
Panos?
Why do you come at this hour?
I thought it was Panos.
He still hasn't returned?
He may be with a girl and...
You know.
No, I don't know.
I bring her food.
Firstly, because I like to cook.
Secondly, because...
We're human beings.
I can see that things are not good.
But... It's natural, no?
I have made salmon
with feta and artichokes.
Kostas' favourite dish. I make it
when he returns from Romania.
The universities in Greece
aren't good enough for him?
If Panos doesn't return,
it won't be easy.
To begin with, I'm worried
about Haroula herself.
It's not easy to lose a child.
It's tough enough to raise a child.
To go through all that effort
and then he disappears...
Who knows what will happen...
I'll help as much as I can.
We're friends, after all.
Salmon? Does she want to kill him?
Do you know how high is it in iron?
She knows it. I don't eat fish.
I don't want it. I can't.
Since I was a kid.
Our mother made us
eat fish every Sunday.
Fried red mullets.
My father's favourite.
I hated it.
Listen to this.
One Sunday,
I was eight years old,
a fish bone got
stuck in my throat.
My mother...
She gave me half a loaf of bread.
But nothing...
I couldn't remove it.
All night I couldn't swallow.
Next day, it was still there.
Imagine... 60 years.
With a fish bone in my throat.
I'm used to it, of course.
But when I worry, it bothers me.
The doctors say it's not there, but
they are wrong. I know. It's there.
And then comes that... I won't
call her names. She brings salmon.
At least close the door.
Something's wrong with you.
OAED - EMPLOYMENT AGENCY FORCE
I don't believe this. My son is not
a thief. I didn't raise a thief.
You? Here? Again?
Don't you have anything else to do?
I don't believe it.
There must be a mistake.
My Panos is not a thief!
Look. He gave me a bunch of papers.
I don't understand what this is.
He says that Panos
issued fake child benefits.
What children? He doesn't even have
a girlfriend. Why are they lying?
These are fake
birth certificates.
What are you talking about?
Can you prove this?
Three kids born within a year
and a half. By the same mother.
- You can look at her name.
- Whose name? The mother's name?
- Yes. Kaya Mensa.
- What kind of name is this?
Does such a name exist?
Such a woman?
She is the one who stole the money.
Not Panos. Why don't you find her?
Find her! She stole the money.
Not Panos! Not my child!
What are you doing? Lefteris?
Leave him. Leave him alone.
He's my son.
- Is he with you?
- Of course he is.
Why? Did anyone hurt him?
You can't just lock him
to a railing. What is he? A bike?
You're not to tell me what
to do with my son.
Are you alright?
Did anyone hurt you?
Let's go now. I'm hungry.
Instead of being useful...
You should look for my other son,
and not bother this one.
Hold this. Let's go, son.
I don't know. I think of the worst.
Maybe something happened to him...
Maybe he's in
some kind of trouble...
I don't know.
Panos is a very good kid.
I know he'll be back. Where is he?
He won't leave us like that.
I need to pee.
Mr Patroklos?
Good morning, Mrs Haroula.
- Do you have company?
- Yes. Friends of my son.
I found this.
What is this?
- For Lefteris.
- What should he do with it?
One moment, please.
There you go.
He hasn't been online since January.
Kaya Mensa
Why are they all black women?
Look. There are so many.
- What are they all doing in Greece?
- They are not in Greece, Ma.
So? How does the computer find them?
Drop it, Ma. Let me play.
I told him many times...
May God protect you
from devil women!
May God protect you!
Where do I put
the wheelchair, lady?
What's he doing with a foreigner?
How do they communicate?
He doesn't speak
any foreign languages.
Couldn't he find a Greek woman
to steal his money?
That foreigner fooled him.
That's why he's afraid to come home.
Now, people are saying
so many lies about him.
I remember you. Some lunatic
tied you to the railings.
No, no. I'll do it.
Don't worry. I've done this before.
- Let me pay.
- No. I don't want anything.
Next time.
Here is my card.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
Where did he learn
to speak Greek so well?
- Only two minutes.
- No. Leave me alone.
They want to talk
to you for a couple of minutes.
It's all I ask of you. We're helping
them find your brother.
- Can't you do me this favour?
- I don't know where the fck he is.
Don't swear. It will be on TV.
What's with the comb?
For fck's sake.
Just a few questions, Lefteris.
- How do you feel?
- Great.
- Are you mad?
- What do you think?
I have to go to the Internet cafe
to play online with my friends.
What if something
happened to him?
As long as nothing happens
to the laptop.
Where would Panos have gone?
I don't give a fck.
Is this a joke?
No one can feel
What we, my love, are feeling
Everyone...
My mother loved this song.
She used to dance to it
with my father.
This world, my love, is small
And it cannot embrace our love
Our love is so strong
That it surpasses any big feeling
This world, my love, is small
Don't expect that it will give more
This world, my love, is small
So small, too small, to feel us
Mother! Bathroom!
- Good afternoon, Mrs Haroula.
- Hello, Mr Patroklos, how are you?
- How else? Muddling through. You?
- Surviving.
- I've found these.
- We are going to the priest.
Mama, I think he fancies you.
Behind every trial...
hides God's grace.
They took it? They took it!
I don't believe it.
Who steals a piece of wood?
What kind of world are we living in?
Why did it have to be me?
Come here, you!
Make yourself useful! Come help me.
To have a disabled child
in a wheelchair...
Everyone can imagine how
life is. Constant drama.
We're talking about... just drama!
No personal life. Nothing.
Your life is all about
raising this kid.
Let alone his whims
that need to be satisfied.
Do you think Panos
would abandon them?
Everything is possible.
I don't know. He might have.
I hope nothing
has happened to him. Please, God...
May God be with him.
Just one phone call...
Why doesn't he call me?
So that I know what is going on.
Anyway. That's history.
What matters now is to find him.
He'll come back
and things will go back to normal.
For ten euros,
I can show you Panos' stash.
Inside, to the left.
The other left.
That's the one.
Whoa.
Porn mags...
PROBE
BARBADOS
Athens Black Panthers.
DOWN WITH RACISM
Oops.
Hang on, there's a mobile number
on the back.
Tania, Cafe Sirocco.
Tania
Cafe Sirocco
Cafe Sirocco?
What's the deal there?
Are you familiar
with the Black Panthers?
The Black Panthers? Of course.
The Athens Black Panthers?
Athens Black Panthers?
What is that?
Hello.
- Tania?
- Who is this?
- Hi.
- Hello.
Why do you have a camera?
What are you filming?
- Are you Tania?
- My leaflet.
Have you given your number
to Panos Dologlou?
Panos? The guy with the funny hair,
who was talking rubbish.
- Do you know where he is?
- No camera. Turn it off.
Did you find out anything?
They say that Panos had a girlfriend
who worked at "Red Sea" Bar.
"Red Sea"? Where's that?
I'll take you there.
RED SEA REGGAE HOUSE CAFE BAR
Let's go.
How will we find the girl?
The truth is, we don't know
her real name.
Only that she used to work
at "Red Sea".
That's a start.
We'll find her.
Where could she go?
Lefteris?
Why did you lock the door?
There you are. Welcome.
I've been expecting you.
Hello.
Why did you bring him here?
He's helping us find the girl.
- What's his name?
- Michalis.
Michalis?
Is he Greek?
Where are you from, Michalis?
I was born here. In Kypseli.
Born and raised.
Inside, I am 100% Greek
with a mean tan all year round.
We don't have any money.
Without Panos, I can barely pay
for the food and bills this month.
Ma, what are you talking about?
I don't want anything.
I don't want any money.
Xenophobia is...
The word itself says it all.
They are afraid of something
they have never seen before.
- Not all people are like that.
- How about Lefteris?
Lefteris is a diehard AEK fan.
So, I liked him from the start.
Do you have any siblings, Michalis?
I do.
I do, but they live in Ghana.
I haven't seen them for a while.
Are you hungry?
Yes.
It's going to rain.
Bring me your plate.
Do you like beef stew with pasta?
Fck.
I'm out of here.
- Where are you going?
- AEK is playing now.
Do you want to watch
the match with Lefteris?
Sure.
Go.
Take your plate with you.
I think that Mrs Haroula
goes to sleep fully stressed.
Then, she wakes up
equally stressed.
Until this mother
finds her kid...
If she doesn't find him,
she'll go crazy.
And it will be a shame.
- Were the checks sent here?
- Yes.
Kaya Mensa.
KAYA MENSA
You must have a good reason
to leave your family.
My parents,
when they returned to Ghana,
I had a good reason to stay here.
To be honest, I would have liked
to become a civil servant.
It's every parent's dream in Greece.
You know that.
A Black civil servant...
Imagine that...
What is this film about?
It started as a study
of the empty desks of civil servants
the phone calls no one answers,
like ghosts...
Is it a thriller?
No, it's about people absent
from work, in two places at once...
I've seen a similar one with zombies
who travel in time. It's a good one.
Hold on.
Nothing!
Lefteris came up
with a smart idea today.
Stop it.
We went to the Internet cafe.
They'll make posters
to put in the neighbourhood.
Panos will see them
and he will come back.
Good idea.
It's better than waiting
for those two to put us on the news.
- Delicious.
- Eat. You need to be strong.
There.
What is this?
- This is the photo you gave them?
- The only one I had.
His eyes are not even open.
This is not my Panos.
I ask him to do one job
and he messes up.
What am I going to do with him?
He had to do one job.
How are we going to find Panos?
MISSING
PANOS DOLOGLOU
Panos doesn't drink alcohol.
Only rarely.
What can I expect from Lefteris?
His head is in the clouds.
What a mess...
I can't, I have no one.
I can't trust anyone.
Couldn't he take a good photo,
so we could see Panos' face?
Where are you going?
sshole!
Is this a poster?
I've never seen that photo before.
With the hat and the party blower?
Will anyone understand?
Someone has to recognise him.
THE DAY OF RECKONING IS NEAR
Look at this.
Babies...
Look at my baby Panos...
I remember this blanket. My mother
made it on the weaving loom.
Stelios... My Stelios...
I used to tell him:
"Be careful. Smoking will kill you."
He wouldn't listen.
He was smoking three packs a day.
Three packs...
14 hours in a small kiosk...
What can one do?
Here he is. Next to
the easter lamb and the "Kokoretsi".
He was the life of the party.
My Stelios.
How did he die?
They found him in the kiosk,
his face on his newspaper
and a cigarette in hand.
We were
at Panagia Megalochari Church.
On the island of Tinos.
We couldn't lift Lefteris
up the stairs.
And Panos didn't go
inside the church.
He stayed with his brother
to keep him company
so that he wasn't alone.
That's my Panos.
He loves Lefteris very much.
Very much.
- What's this?
- It was on Panos' desk.
Why?
Now that you mention Panos' desk...
I had the same dream today.
I was in my room
and I could hear noises
coming from Panos' room.
I got up, running with joy
because he was back.
I open the door.
Instead of finding Panos,
there was a big fish on his bed...
So ugly! Staring me in the eyes!
Attention.
Silver Alert.
Can you help?
You, why don't you make
one of these for Panos?
Aren't you supposed to
be a TV crew?
Hello? Panos?
Who is this? Hello?
Do you think he called
while we were out?
Why did we have to go
to the hospital today?
Yes. Hello.
Who? It's for you.
Hello? Yes?
Alright. OK.
- So, where are you from?
- Kypseli.
- I mean, where were you born?
- Kypseli.
Look. We are looking
for more Black members.
This whole movement has
no other Black members?
Hello? Hi, Mama.
Excuse me... Will you tell me
anything about Panos?
Panos? He had nothing to do with us.
He was here for fun.
He wasn't interested in the movement
or in Black people's rights.
I see.
Listen...
we are starting
to come together.
We are getting ready
for something big, very big.
we will become the Greek
"Black Lives Matter".
We want you to represent us.
To become our "face".
Are you kidding me?
I'm here to find out about Panos.
Why are you telling me about
"Black Lives Matter"?
Michalis, where are you going?
We are doing this for you.
You know nothing about me.
Let's go, Mrs Haroula.
"A.B.P." my ss...
I miss my mother.
I miss my father, too.
There are moments you need
to talk to your mother,
eat the food she made,
ask your father for some advice.
You know, go to a family gathering.
Talk about things.
It's your family, after all.
MISSING
PANOS DOLOGLOU
Hello?
Hello? Panos?
Hello?
- Hello, Mrs Haroula.
- Hello, my boy.
- Did anyone call?
- No...
Just someone for the Internet.
I told them to call back
when Panos is here.
Ma, where's the TV control?
I put many posters up today.
Be patient. We'll find him.
Where did you put it?
The match is going to start.
What can I get you? An orange juice?
Yes, sure.
God bless you, my boy.
Let's go AEK, come on.
Hey!
Your mother's not coming, right?
Check this out...
I come with an attitude
Not about the myth, only about ethos
No need to convince or suck up
Where they suck up, I'm gone
I vent on paper
Looking for a verse
My back on the wall
I take a hit to feel
What I don't like, I drink to become
Wherever it's done, I spit
Whenever I want, I quit or pilgrim
Did you write that?
No way...
- They are hitting on us...
- They'll make you a video clip.
Stop shouting, man!
Go get Panos! Find him!
That went well...
You guys, do you want a puff?
Have you ever seen his face.
I've never seen his face.
He's always like this.
Only like this.
God's cigarette?
Which TV channel are you from,
anyway?
That was my exact question.
He's the wrong one.
The totally wrong one.
He's the wrong one.
The more wrong one.
He's the wrong, the totally wrong
and the more wrong one.
He's the wrong one, so wrong that...
Fck it.
The one who was born wrong.
- Don't give up.
- Never. Never.
Panos?
Yes?
Are you back?
Panos?
Can you hear me?
Tomorrow,
Syntagma square, noon.
Do you know where she is now?
Still running!
Imagine Mrs Maria
going to Africa.
- This bread tastes great.
- Save some for Michalis.
- No way...
- What's wrong?
- Who's that?
- Tania.
- What does she want?
- Today is the big day.
- Whatever that means...
- She'll take you out to propose.
- She won't stop.
- She'll ask to move in together.
- Got a lighter?
- Hold on.
Give it. Thanks.
Are you out of your mind?
What do you think you are doing?
Michalis, shame on you!
Down with racism,
xenophobia and fascism!
DOWN WITH RACISM
XENOPHOBIA IS HATRED
I MISS YOU
Michalis!
You're here! He is perfect.
We'll block the road.
- How? You're not even...
- This guy here, in front.
We're not here for you.
We're looking for someone else.
Look, more people. I told you so.
The barwoman from "Red Sea".
- That's Panos' girlfriend.
- Panos' girlfriend?
- Is that her?
- Where is Panos?
Michalis, call the police.
It's her.
What have you done to my son?
What have you done to my child?
Where is Panos?
Your son fooled me.
Your son is an sshole!
What did you do with the money?
Where is my Panos?
Tell me where my son is.
Why did you call Panos' house?
I thought he came back.
I met Panos at "Red Sea".
He's good to me.
Kind.
He talked about his job.
And about how much they give
to people who have kids.
At our previous house,
I was living with two girls.
One of them was Kaya.
Panos told me that with her passport
he can issue Child Benefits.
So that we can make money.
To go somewhere far away,
together. To Barbados.
All lies!
Enough! Tell me where my son is.
So, what happened?
After the last check,
he never came back.
I haven't seen him again!
Gone!
It's all lies!
He took all the money.
What did you do
with the money? Where is my child?
Panos would never leave.
He would never abandon us.
- Go home, Michalis!
- What? Why, Mama?
- Be quiet.
- Michalis!
Come in.
I'll show you that she's lying.
I keep all our passports, here.
I just need to remember where.
All of them!
Mine, Panos', Lefteris'... All!
How is it possible for Panos
to leave for Barbados?
I am the one
who has his passport.
Here it is.
Can't be...
Can't be...
It's not here.
What are you looking at?
What are you looking at?
Didn't you say
you'd help us find Panos?
What have you done during
all this time? You eat our food.
While we are waiting for you
to have us on the news.
That's enough! Enough! Go!
I want you to leave, and play
the film on the news today.
Panos must see it and realise that
he can come back. He was swindled.
- We haven't finished.
- Finish what?
Get out of here!
Have us on the news today. Help us.
You should find Panos.
Who is this?
A delivery for Dologlou.
You again?
Panos sent us his passport.
Why would he send
his passport back?
Because he's never coming back!
How is he going
to come back now?
Swimming.
Have a look...
What's the return address?
Hotel Sun, Kineta.
It was sent from there.
From a hotel in Kineta.
Kineta? We have to go there!
Come in! Come!
Kineta?
Why did he go there?
Did he need his passport
to go to Kineta?
No answer.
I must not forget
Lefteris' medicine.
How will we get there?
Are you coming with us?
Is there anyone here?
Where did they all go?
Hello. How can I help you?
Is anyone here?
The hotel is closed. End of season.
What is it you want?
I am looking for my son.
My Panos.
Have you seen him?
Yes. He forgot his passport.
We found it in his room.
I remember him.
- When was he here?
- I'm not sure. A few weeks ago.
Where did he go?
What can I say? They came here,
stayed for five-six days and left.
- What do you mean? "They"?
- What?
Who was he with?
The young man... and his family.
Mother? Mother?
- Which family was he talking about?
- Let's go home.
What family?
What does he mean?
Mother! I'm talking to you!
Mother!
Mother!
Mother, where are you going?
Leave me alone!
I said, leave!
Mother!
Hold on a minute... Wait!
Stop. Stop for a moment.
Hello?
Yes, I'm listening.
Kypseli?
Address?
Kerkyras 108. Alright.
Name on the buzzer?
Mossi. Alright.
Which floor?
First. Alright.
Great.
Bye.
Mrs Haroula. Good news.
We found Panos.
It's here.
Hold it, I have to park.
Mama, wait.
What happened?
Panos?
Panos, my love...
My child is back. Panos.
My Panos! My child!
Panos, my son!
Look. Panos is back.
Come in. Come in.
Mother, what's going on?
- Mrs Haroula, it's me.
- Why did you bring food?
I found it by the door.
Look! What a good kid!
He brought food.
But you know there's
always food here.
We were just about to eat.
Sit, dear. Take your seat!
- Are you hungry, Panos?
- Panos, who? It's Michalis.
Be quiet, you! You are not
speaking now! Don't speak!
You are not to decide
what Panos will do!
I don't care where you've been,
my son. I don't.
You're here, now.
We're all together.
We will eat and celebrate.
What happened?
You two... Sit with us.
Enough with the camera.
Panos is back now.
As if you were gone for a year.
Wait! Let your brother
serve himself first.
What did you bring us?
I already told you.
I found it outside the door.
I knew that you'd never abandon us.
I knew it!
We'll eat, and then...
Panos will make an appointment
and you'll see the doctor, Lefteris.
Mama, what's wrong with you?
Panos?
Mama, it's Panos.
Mother?
That's not Panos.
Panos is sitting next to you.
Mother, snap out of it!
What's this? Egg-and-lemon sauce?
You like it. Eat, Lefteris.
What are you talking about?
You're going to drive us crazy?
He is the one who brought food.
He'll help us! He'll take care
of us! He will find the doctor!
The other one is a bum!
Now you eat the food
your brother brought you! Eat it!
Mother?
Mother, let me explain.
- Mother.
- Eat!
Mother, look at me.
Look at me, Mother!
Mother.
Mum!
Panos, do something! Mum!
This world, my love, is small...
Don't expect
It will give us nothing
This world, my love, is small
So small, too small, to feel us
...our dream
This world, my love, is small
And it cannot embrace our love
This world, my love, is small
So small, too small, to feel us
Why did you have to come back?
Couldn't you stay
where you were?
- Come on, Michalis.
- Keep it.
Go! Go!
Panos. I'm done.
Panos!
Panos, I'm done.
Did you leave?
Hey, sshole!
MISSING
Why did you leave, Panos?
I can't stand
the encyclopedias and porcelain.
Too many doilies.
So, what happened?
What happened? I split.
I took the money and left.
Mama!
Lefteris?
It's OK, Lefteris...
Poor Haroula...
If you could say something
to Haroula, what would that be?
What can I say? I don't know.
Here.
What are you eating?
You weren't here, buddy. What
was I supposed to eat? My hands?
- What is this?
- Sardines and pineapple.
Come on. Get dressed.
They're coming.
Who's coming?
- It's good.
- Guys, I'm the one who's pregnant.
- A bit of lemon...
- Open this...
- Two? Two more.
- Four.
Where did you meet Felicia?
At "Grigoris Cafe" on Fokionos.
Yes... He came over.
We talked.
And here we are...
Do you think Panos
will manage to take care of you?
Panos will manage.
We'll manage together.
I have to take care of many things.
I'll take care of Lefteris too.
I want to say this
about Panos who lost his mother...
Because I know what it means
to be away from...
mum...
It's not easy.
But one has to try
to live with it.
It never ends.
It's never forgotten.
You always live
with this absence.
But you learn
how to live with it.
Let's go!
What is this, Panos?
TO MY MOTHER
OLIA JACOVIDES
THERE ARE APPROXIMATELY 602,301
CIVIL SERVANTS IN GREECE TODAY
OF WHICH 48,646 ARE "MISSING"
AFTER BEING HIRED BY UNKNOWN
PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION BODIES.
THEY ARE KNOWN AS
"GHOSTS" OF THE CIVIL SERVICE.
He's not answering his phone.
What can I say?
You can't stay here all day.
Can we leave a message?
I'm not his secretary.
- They want to speak to Panos.
- To Panos? Isn't he here?
What is this about? Do you have
a permit to use the camera?
We have a permit,
from the director.
- What's this?
- It's for you.
Please, have one.
- What do you want?
- Do you know his address?
DOLOGLOU
Who is this?
We are looking for Mr Dologlou.
Do you know Panos?
Can we talk to him?
Why did you bring a camera?
Are you from the news?
- Has something happened to my son?
- We want to talk to him.
Could you, please, help us?
Come in, please.
He's been away for two days.
He still hasn't called.
You can help me call him again.
Come into the kitchen,
the phone is in there.
I've been trying to call his mobile
but there is no answer.
No one tells me anything.
I've called the office repeatedly.
They tell me he's away...
Some lady named Panagiota...
She says "He's not in, yet.
Please, stop calling".
How can I stop calling?
I'm trying to find my son.
Here, call this number.
Don't use these gadgets.
They'll give you cancer!
"The subscriber you have called..."
- There's no reply.
- No reply?
Yes, Panos?
Hello... What is she saying?
Panos, do you hear me?
He hung up... Oh, God!
I haven't seen him since Sunday.
He said he would go to the cinema.
He didn't come back that night.
Who did he go to the cinema with?
No one tells me anything.
Did he go alone?
Who goes to the cinema alone?
What if something happened to him?
You're from the TV news, right?
Mama, I need to take a sht.
- Come, dear.
- Who are they?
They are a TV crew,
they will help us find our Panos.
I've been telling you
not to drink so much chocolate milk.
Because you need to use
the bathroom all the time.
Come, dear.
Let's go.
Don't leave, alright?
Have a seat.
I will be right back. Don't go.
May I?
- What is this?
- A mike, so we can hear you.
Could you tell us your name?
My name is Haroula Dologlou.
- How old are you?
- 68.
Could you tell us
a few words about yourself?
I have two kids.
My husband passed away.
I have Lefteris,
who has a big problem.
And I rely on Panos.
He is a civil servant,
working at OAED. He's a gentleman.
He honours his commitments.
- Wouldn't he call?
- He doesn't call.
It's been two days and
he hasn't been to work.
I went to the Police.
- Car accident?
- Car accident?
- Car accident? Panos?
- He's asking about me.
I worry.
You must help us find him.
FOR RENThe hamster...
Is it yours?
Do you have a girlfriend?
Me? Yes.
Do you have any nude photos
of your girlfriend?
Will you send me a couple?
Sickle cell anemia.
Do you know how long it's taken me
to learn this word?
Very long.
The doctor said that it is
osteonecrosis of the hip
and we have to be careful
of his iron levels.
Once a month we have to go
to the hospital for a transfusion.
Mama!
Wake up. It's over.
Who? The brother?
He rarely comes with Lefteris.
He doesn't talk much.
He just watches TV.
Lefteris is a good kid.
Even if he swears a lot.
Maria, what did
he call you last time?
Unfckable.
When Stelios died,
it was very hard for me.
I had to keep going.
What could I do? I had two kids.
Lefteris was sick. Who could I
complain to? Lefteris?
Wait Mama... I can't see.
Thank God we had Panos.
Thank God.
When he was born, I knew
the day would come
that he'd take care of me.
How am I supposed
to make ends meet alone?
I can't work.
I have the kid... He needs
to go to the hospital once a month.
I have to take care of his medicine,
take him to the toilet,
help him off the toilet.
Take him out for a stroll.
Take him to the Internet cafe.
Taxis... It's an ordeal...
A real ordeal.
They're too big.
Not that small, dmn it.
I can't pick them up with the fork.
No need to swear, son.
How is this interesting?
Why are they filming us?
Pretend we are not here.
Where could Panos be?
He's asking you something.
He said to pretend
they are not here.
He's asking you something.
On a cruise for ssholes!
Don't swear.
Please, eat. Have a bite.
Why go hungry?
Have some bread.
You have to help us find him.
When will this finish,
so you can send it to the news?
When will we tell her
that we don't work for the news?
It must be Panos.
Panos?
Why do you come at this hour?
I thought it was Panos.
He still hasn't returned?
He may be with a girl and...
You know.
No, I don't know.
I bring her food.
Firstly, because I like to cook.
Secondly, because...
We're human beings.
I can see that things are not good.
But... It's natural, no?
I have made salmon
with feta and artichokes.
Kostas' favourite dish. I make it
when he returns from Romania.
The universities in Greece
aren't good enough for him?
If Panos doesn't return,
it won't be easy.
To begin with, I'm worried
about Haroula herself.
It's not easy to lose a child.
It's tough enough to raise a child.
To go through all that effort
and then he disappears...
Who knows what will happen...
I'll help as much as I can.
We're friends, after all.
Salmon? Does she want to kill him?
Do you know how high is it in iron?
She knows it. I don't eat fish.
I don't want it. I can't.
Since I was a kid.
Our mother made us
eat fish every Sunday.
Fried red mullets.
My father's favourite.
I hated it.
Listen to this.
One Sunday,
I was eight years old,
a fish bone got
stuck in my throat.
My mother...
She gave me half a loaf of bread.
But nothing...
I couldn't remove it.
All night I couldn't swallow.
Next day, it was still there.
Imagine... 60 years.
With a fish bone in my throat.
I'm used to it, of course.
But when I worry, it bothers me.
The doctors say it's not there, but
they are wrong. I know. It's there.
And then comes that... I won't
call her names. She brings salmon.
At least close the door.
Something's wrong with you.
OAED - EMPLOYMENT AGENCY FORCE
I don't believe this. My son is not
a thief. I didn't raise a thief.
You? Here? Again?
Don't you have anything else to do?
I don't believe it.
There must be a mistake.
My Panos is not a thief!
Look. He gave me a bunch of papers.
I don't understand what this is.
He says that Panos
issued fake child benefits.
What children? He doesn't even have
a girlfriend. Why are they lying?
These are fake
birth certificates.
What are you talking about?
Can you prove this?
Three kids born within a year
and a half. By the same mother.
- You can look at her name.
- Whose name? The mother's name?
- Yes. Kaya Mensa.
- What kind of name is this?
Does such a name exist?
Such a woman?
She is the one who stole the money.
Not Panos. Why don't you find her?
Find her! She stole the money.
Not Panos! Not my child!
What are you doing? Lefteris?
Leave him. Leave him alone.
He's my son.
- Is he with you?
- Of course he is.
Why? Did anyone hurt him?
You can't just lock him
to a railing. What is he? A bike?
You're not to tell me what
to do with my son.
Are you alright?
Did anyone hurt you?
Let's go now. I'm hungry.
Instead of being useful...
You should look for my other son,
and not bother this one.
Hold this. Let's go, son.
I don't know. I think of the worst.
Maybe something happened to him...
Maybe he's in
some kind of trouble...
I don't know.
Panos is a very good kid.
I know he'll be back. Where is he?
He won't leave us like that.
I need to pee.
Mr Patroklos?
Good morning, Mrs Haroula.
- Do you have company?
- Yes. Friends of my son.
I found this.
What is this?
- For Lefteris.
- What should he do with it?
One moment, please.
There you go.
He hasn't been online since January.
Kaya Mensa
Why are they all black women?
Look. There are so many.
- What are they all doing in Greece?
- They are not in Greece, Ma.
So? How does the computer find them?
Drop it, Ma. Let me play.
I told him many times...
May God protect you
from devil women!
May God protect you!
Where do I put
the wheelchair, lady?
What's he doing with a foreigner?
How do they communicate?
He doesn't speak
any foreign languages.
Couldn't he find a Greek woman
to steal his money?
That foreigner fooled him.
That's why he's afraid to come home.
Now, people are saying
so many lies about him.
I remember you. Some lunatic
tied you to the railings.
No, no. I'll do it.
Don't worry. I've done this before.
- Let me pay.
- No. I don't want anything.
Next time.
Here is my card.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
Where did he learn
to speak Greek so well?
- Only two minutes.
- No. Leave me alone.
They want to talk
to you for a couple of minutes.
It's all I ask of you. We're helping
them find your brother.
- Can't you do me this favour?
- I don't know where the fck he is.
Don't swear. It will be on TV.
What's with the comb?
For fck's sake.
Just a few questions, Lefteris.
- How do you feel?
- Great.
- Are you mad?
- What do you think?
I have to go to the Internet cafe
to play online with my friends.
What if something
happened to him?
As long as nothing happens
to the laptop.
Where would Panos have gone?
I don't give a fck.
Is this a joke?
No one can feel
What we, my love, are feeling
Everyone...
My mother loved this song.
She used to dance to it
with my father.
This world, my love, is small
And it cannot embrace our love
Our love is so strong
That it surpasses any big feeling
This world, my love, is small
Don't expect that it will give more
This world, my love, is small
So small, too small, to feel us
Mother! Bathroom!
- Good afternoon, Mrs Haroula.
- Hello, Mr Patroklos, how are you?
- How else? Muddling through. You?
- Surviving.
- I've found these.
- We are going to the priest.
Mama, I think he fancies you.
Behind every trial...
hides God's grace.
They took it? They took it!
I don't believe it.
Who steals a piece of wood?
What kind of world are we living in?
Why did it have to be me?
Come here, you!
Make yourself useful! Come help me.
To have a disabled child
in a wheelchair...
Everyone can imagine how
life is. Constant drama.
We're talking about... just drama!
No personal life. Nothing.
Your life is all about
raising this kid.
Let alone his whims
that need to be satisfied.
Do you think Panos
would abandon them?
Everything is possible.
I don't know. He might have.
I hope nothing
has happened to him. Please, God...
May God be with him.
Just one phone call...
Why doesn't he call me?
So that I know what is going on.
Anyway. That's history.
What matters now is to find him.
He'll come back
and things will go back to normal.
For ten euros,
I can show you Panos' stash.
Inside, to the left.
The other left.
That's the one.
Whoa.
Porn mags...
PROBE
BARBADOS
Athens Black Panthers.
DOWN WITH RACISM
Oops.
Hang on, there's a mobile number
on the back.
Tania, Cafe Sirocco.
Tania
Cafe Sirocco
Cafe Sirocco?
What's the deal there?
Are you familiar
with the Black Panthers?
The Black Panthers? Of course.
The Athens Black Panthers?
Athens Black Panthers?
What is that?
Hello.
- Tania?
- Who is this?
- Hi.
- Hello.
Why do you have a camera?
What are you filming?
- Are you Tania?
- My leaflet.
Have you given your number
to Panos Dologlou?
Panos? The guy with the funny hair,
who was talking rubbish.
- Do you know where he is?
- No camera. Turn it off.
Did you find out anything?
They say that Panos had a girlfriend
who worked at "Red Sea" Bar.
"Red Sea"? Where's that?
I'll take you there.
RED SEA REGGAE HOUSE CAFE BAR
Let's go.
How will we find the girl?
The truth is, we don't know
her real name.
Only that she used to work
at "Red Sea".
That's a start.
We'll find her.
Where could she go?
Lefteris?
Why did you lock the door?
There you are. Welcome.
I've been expecting you.
Hello.
Why did you bring him here?
He's helping us find the girl.
- What's his name?
- Michalis.
Michalis?
Is he Greek?
Where are you from, Michalis?
I was born here. In Kypseli.
Born and raised.
Inside, I am 100% Greek
with a mean tan all year round.
We don't have any money.
Without Panos, I can barely pay
for the food and bills this month.
Ma, what are you talking about?
I don't want anything.
I don't want any money.
Xenophobia is...
The word itself says it all.
They are afraid of something
they have never seen before.
- Not all people are like that.
- How about Lefteris?
Lefteris is a diehard AEK fan.
So, I liked him from the start.
Do you have any siblings, Michalis?
I do.
I do, but they live in Ghana.
I haven't seen them for a while.
Are you hungry?
Yes.
It's going to rain.
Bring me your plate.
Do you like beef stew with pasta?
Fck.
I'm out of here.
- Where are you going?
- AEK is playing now.
Do you want to watch
the match with Lefteris?
Sure.
Go.
Take your plate with you.
I think that Mrs Haroula
goes to sleep fully stressed.
Then, she wakes up
equally stressed.
Until this mother
finds her kid...
If she doesn't find him,
she'll go crazy.
And it will be a shame.
- Were the checks sent here?
- Yes.
Kaya Mensa.
KAYA MENSA
You must have a good reason
to leave your family.
My parents,
when they returned to Ghana,
I had a good reason to stay here.
To be honest, I would have liked
to become a civil servant.
It's every parent's dream in Greece.
You know that.
A Black civil servant...
Imagine that...
What is this film about?
It started as a study
of the empty desks of civil servants
the phone calls no one answers,
like ghosts...
Is it a thriller?
No, it's about people absent
from work, in two places at once...
I've seen a similar one with zombies
who travel in time. It's a good one.
Hold on.
Nothing!
Lefteris came up
with a smart idea today.
Stop it.
We went to the Internet cafe.
They'll make posters
to put in the neighbourhood.
Panos will see them
and he will come back.
Good idea.
It's better than waiting
for those two to put us on the news.
- Delicious.
- Eat. You need to be strong.
There.
What is this?
- This is the photo you gave them?
- The only one I had.
His eyes are not even open.
This is not my Panos.
I ask him to do one job
and he messes up.
What am I going to do with him?
He had to do one job.
How are we going to find Panos?
MISSING
PANOS DOLOGLOU
Panos doesn't drink alcohol.
Only rarely.
What can I expect from Lefteris?
His head is in the clouds.
What a mess...
I can't, I have no one.
I can't trust anyone.
Couldn't he take a good photo,
so we could see Panos' face?
Where are you going?
sshole!
Is this a poster?
I've never seen that photo before.
With the hat and the party blower?
Will anyone understand?
Someone has to recognise him.
THE DAY OF RECKONING IS NEAR
Look at this.
Babies...
Look at my baby Panos...
I remember this blanket. My mother
made it on the weaving loom.
Stelios... My Stelios...
I used to tell him:
"Be careful. Smoking will kill you."
He wouldn't listen.
He was smoking three packs a day.
Three packs...
14 hours in a small kiosk...
What can one do?
Here he is. Next to
the easter lamb and the "Kokoretsi".
He was the life of the party.
My Stelios.
How did he die?
They found him in the kiosk,
his face on his newspaper
and a cigarette in hand.
We were
at Panagia Megalochari Church.
On the island of Tinos.
We couldn't lift Lefteris
up the stairs.
And Panos didn't go
inside the church.
He stayed with his brother
to keep him company
so that he wasn't alone.
That's my Panos.
He loves Lefteris very much.
Very much.
- What's this?
- It was on Panos' desk.
Why?
Now that you mention Panos' desk...
I had the same dream today.
I was in my room
and I could hear noises
coming from Panos' room.
I got up, running with joy
because he was back.
I open the door.
Instead of finding Panos,
there was a big fish on his bed...
So ugly! Staring me in the eyes!
Attention.
Silver Alert.
Can you help?
You, why don't you make
one of these for Panos?
Aren't you supposed to
be a TV crew?
Hello? Panos?
Who is this? Hello?
Do you think he called
while we were out?
Why did we have to go
to the hospital today?
Yes. Hello.
Who? It's for you.
Hello? Yes?
Alright. OK.
- So, where are you from?
- Kypseli.
- I mean, where were you born?
- Kypseli.
Look. We are looking
for more Black members.
This whole movement has
no other Black members?
Hello? Hi, Mama.
Excuse me... Will you tell me
anything about Panos?
Panos? He had nothing to do with us.
He was here for fun.
He wasn't interested in the movement
or in Black people's rights.
I see.
Listen...
we are starting
to come together.
We are getting ready
for something big, very big.
we will become the Greek
"Black Lives Matter".
We want you to represent us.
To become our "face".
Are you kidding me?
I'm here to find out about Panos.
Why are you telling me about
"Black Lives Matter"?
Michalis, where are you going?
We are doing this for you.
You know nothing about me.
Let's go, Mrs Haroula.
"A.B.P." my ss...
I miss my mother.
I miss my father, too.
There are moments you need
to talk to your mother,
eat the food she made,
ask your father for some advice.
You know, go to a family gathering.
Talk about things.
It's your family, after all.
MISSING
PANOS DOLOGLOU
Hello?
Hello? Panos?
Hello?
- Hello, Mrs Haroula.
- Hello, my boy.
- Did anyone call?
- No...
Just someone for the Internet.
I told them to call back
when Panos is here.
Ma, where's the TV control?
I put many posters up today.
Be patient. We'll find him.
Where did you put it?
The match is going to start.
What can I get you? An orange juice?
Yes, sure.
God bless you, my boy.
Let's go AEK, come on.
Hey!
Your mother's not coming, right?
Check this out...
I come with an attitude
Not about the myth, only about ethos
No need to convince or suck up
Where they suck up, I'm gone
I vent on paper
Looking for a verse
My back on the wall
I take a hit to feel
What I don't like, I drink to become
Wherever it's done, I spit
Whenever I want, I quit or pilgrim
Did you write that?
No way...
- They are hitting on us...
- They'll make you a video clip.
Stop shouting, man!
Go get Panos! Find him!
That went well...
You guys, do you want a puff?
Have you ever seen his face.
I've never seen his face.
He's always like this.
Only like this.
God's cigarette?
Which TV channel are you from,
anyway?
That was my exact question.
He's the wrong one.
The totally wrong one.
He's the wrong one.
The more wrong one.
He's the wrong, the totally wrong
and the more wrong one.
He's the wrong one, so wrong that...
Fck it.
The one who was born wrong.
- Don't give up.
- Never. Never.
Panos?
Yes?
Are you back?
Panos?
Can you hear me?
Tomorrow,
Syntagma square, noon.
Do you know where she is now?
Still running!
Imagine Mrs Maria
going to Africa.
- This bread tastes great.
- Save some for Michalis.
- No way...
- What's wrong?
- Who's that?
- Tania.
- What does she want?
- Today is the big day.
- Whatever that means...
- She'll take you out to propose.
- She won't stop.
- She'll ask to move in together.
- Got a lighter?
- Hold on.
Give it. Thanks.
Are you out of your mind?
What do you think you are doing?
Michalis, shame on you!
Down with racism,
xenophobia and fascism!
DOWN WITH RACISM
XENOPHOBIA IS HATRED
I MISS YOU
Michalis!
You're here! He is perfect.
We'll block the road.
- How? You're not even...
- This guy here, in front.
We're not here for you.
We're looking for someone else.
Look, more people. I told you so.
The barwoman from "Red Sea".
- That's Panos' girlfriend.
- Panos' girlfriend?
- Is that her?
- Where is Panos?
Michalis, call the police.
It's her.
What have you done to my son?
What have you done to my child?
Where is Panos?
Your son fooled me.
Your son is an sshole!
What did you do with the money?
Where is my Panos?
Tell me where my son is.
Why did you call Panos' house?
I thought he came back.
I met Panos at "Red Sea".
He's good to me.
Kind.
He talked about his job.
And about how much they give
to people who have kids.
At our previous house,
I was living with two girls.
One of them was Kaya.
Panos told me that with her passport
he can issue Child Benefits.
So that we can make money.
To go somewhere far away,
together. To Barbados.
All lies!
Enough! Tell me where my son is.
So, what happened?
After the last check,
he never came back.
I haven't seen him again!
Gone!
It's all lies!
He took all the money.
What did you do
with the money? Where is my child?
Panos would never leave.
He would never abandon us.
- Go home, Michalis!
- What? Why, Mama?
- Be quiet.
- Michalis!
Come in.
I'll show you that she's lying.
I keep all our passports, here.
I just need to remember where.
All of them!
Mine, Panos', Lefteris'... All!
How is it possible for Panos
to leave for Barbados?
I am the one
who has his passport.
Here it is.
Can't be...
Can't be...
It's not here.
What are you looking at?
What are you looking at?
Didn't you say
you'd help us find Panos?
What have you done during
all this time? You eat our food.
While we are waiting for you
to have us on the news.
That's enough! Enough! Go!
I want you to leave, and play
the film on the news today.
Panos must see it and realise that
he can come back. He was swindled.
- We haven't finished.
- Finish what?
Get out of here!
Have us on the news today. Help us.
You should find Panos.
Who is this?
A delivery for Dologlou.
You again?
Panos sent us his passport.
Why would he send
his passport back?
Because he's never coming back!
How is he going
to come back now?
Swimming.
Have a look...
What's the return address?
Hotel Sun, Kineta.
It was sent from there.
From a hotel in Kineta.
Kineta? We have to go there!
Come in! Come!
Kineta?
Why did he go there?
Did he need his passport
to go to Kineta?
No answer.
I must not forget
Lefteris' medicine.
How will we get there?
Are you coming with us?
Is there anyone here?
Where did they all go?
Hello. How can I help you?
Is anyone here?
The hotel is closed. End of season.
What is it you want?
I am looking for my son.
My Panos.
Have you seen him?
Yes. He forgot his passport.
We found it in his room.
I remember him.
- When was he here?
- I'm not sure. A few weeks ago.
Where did he go?
What can I say? They came here,
stayed for five-six days and left.
- What do you mean? "They"?
- What?
Who was he with?
The young man... and his family.
Mother? Mother?
- Which family was he talking about?
- Let's go home.
What family?
What does he mean?
Mother! I'm talking to you!
Mother!
Mother!
Mother, where are you going?
Leave me alone!
I said, leave!
Mother!
Hold on a minute... Wait!
Stop. Stop for a moment.
Hello?
Yes, I'm listening.
Kypseli?
Address?
Kerkyras 108. Alright.
Name on the buzzer?
Mossi. Alright.
Which floor?
First. Alright.
Great.
Bye.
Mrs Haroula. Good news.
We found Panos.
It's here.
Hold it, I have to park.
Mama, wait.
What happened?
Panos?
Panos, my love...
My child is back. Panos.
My Panos! My child!
Panos, my son!
Look. Panos is back.
Come in. Come in.
Mother, what's going on?
- Mrs Haroula, it's me.
- Why did you bring food?
I found it by the door.
Look! What a good kid!
He brought food.
But you know there's
always food here.
We were just about to eat.
Sit, dear. Take your seat!
- Are you hungry, Panos?
- Panos, who? It's Michalis.
Be quiet, you! You are not
speaking now! Don't speak!
You are not to decide
what Panos will do!
I don't care where you've been,
my son. I don't.
You're here, now.
We're all together.
We will eat and celebrate.
What happened?
You two... Sit with us.
Enough with the camera.
Panos is back now.
As if you were gone for a year.
Wait! Let your brother
serve himself first.
What did you bring us?
I already told you.
I found it outside the door.
I knew that you'd never abandon us.
I knew it!
We'll eat, and then...
Panos will make an appointment
and you'll see the doctor, Lefteris.
Mama, what's wrong with you?
Panos?
Mama, it's Panos.
Mother?
That's not Panos.
Panos is sitting next to you.
Mother, snap out of it!
What's this? Egg-and-lemon sauce?
You like it. Eat, Lefteris.
What are you talking about?
You're going to drive us crazy?
He is the one who brought food.
He'll help us! He'll take care
of us! He will find the doctor!
The other one is a bum!
Now you eat the food
your brother brought you! Eat it!
Mother?
Mother, let me explain.
- Mother.
- Eat!
Mother, look at me.
Look at me, Mother!
Mother.
Mum!
Panos, do something! Mum!
This world, my love, is small...
Don't expect
It will give us nothing
This world, my love, is small
So small, too small, to feel us
...our dream
This world, my love, is small
And it cannot embrace our love
This world, my love, is small
So small, too small, to feel us
Why did you have to come back?
Couldn't you stay
where you were?
- Come on, Michalis.
- Keep it.
Go! Go!
Panos. I'm done.
Panos!
Panos, I'm done.
Did you leave?
Hey, sshole!
MISSING
Why did you leave, Panos?
I can't stand
the encyclopedias and porcelain.
Too many doilies.
So, what happened?
What happened? I split.
I took the money and left.
Mama!
Lefteris?
It's OK, Lefteris...
Poor Haroula...
If you could say something
to Haroula, what would that be?
What can I say? I don't know.
Here.
What are you eating?
You weren't here, buddy. What
was I supposed to eat? My hands?
- What is this?
- Sardines and pineapple.
Come on. Get dressed.
They're coming.
Who's coming?
- It's good.
- Guys, I'm the one who's pregnant.
- A bit of lemon...
- Open this...
- Two? Two more.
- Four.
Where did you meet Felicia?
At "Grigoris Cafe" on Fokionos.
Yes... He came over.
We talked.
And here we are...
Do you think Panos
will manage to take care of you?
Panos will manage.
We'll manage together.
I have to take care of many things.
I'll take care of Lefteris too.
I want to say this
about Panos who lost his mother...
Because I know what it means
to be away from...
mum...
It's not easy.
But one has to try
to live with it.
It never ends.
It's never forgotten.
You always live
with this absence.
But you learn
how to live with it.
Let's go!
What is this, Panos?
TO MY MOTHER
