Based on an actual event, the escape of 80 convicts from an Athens prison on January 29, 1993. The film follows the journey of 11 of the escaped prisoners towards freedom. After obtaining a map purported to indicate the buried treasure of a Turkish 19th Century General, Hoursit Pasha, the escapees cross the Peloponnese. All the while arguing, fighting and eventually part ways.
A light, full of life, warm and lively film, so “small” and so unexpected that, in the landscape
full of heavy images of Greek cinema, it looks like an oasis in the middle of a vast desert. And
if her water is scarce, it is at the same time so necessary for us…
