Athens. The municipal council announces the redevelopment of Omonia, a neglected square in the heart of the capital. Within a few months, violent clashes erupt around the plaza. With a handheld camera, the director follows three residents of the neighborhood living under the shadow of reconstruction. The camera acts as both witness and participant – unstable, close, alive – mirroring the instability imposed on the people themselves. In just fifteen minutes, the film avoids linear storytelling, focusing instead on the intersection of memory, community, and resistance.
