The Longest Day of the World by Dimitris Charalampopoulos

29.10.2025

During the longest day of the year, Eddie, who just lost his grandmother, wanders around the streets of Athens and those of his memory. The universe of the film comprises a letter never sent, the summer solstice as a natural phenomenon and symbol, true events and coincidences, the picturesque landscape of the island of Hydra, and poems about a child’s first questions. Eddie’s letter to Petros in voice-over. A letter to first love – or not quite.

Available at the Onassis Channel on YouTube from 24.11 to 03.12.2025.
