Arpa Colla poster
6.1 FILM

"Arpa-colla" in Greek literally means "Grab and stick", a phrase used to show something that has been done quickly and therefore isn't good enough. This is what the 2 main heroes of the film are doing. The one is a director(Giorgos) and the other an author(Kostas) with communistic ideas, who has won a prize at a festival. They both want to make a movie for the cinema. But every idea they have never comes true, because every time they meet someone to whom they tell their idea, they change their mind, and they want to make a totally different movie, ideas varying from political cinema to Greek historical dramas and modern films with motorcycle gangs. Not a bad attempt for the Greek cinema of the early 80's, which starts to wake up from the hibernation of the 70's.

Life in Pezoula and Vrysoula flowed harmoniously. Of course, it helped that there was a wall between the two villages, built from one end to the other, so that no one interfered in the other's business. But when Kallikrates comes to unite the two villages, everything is turned upside down! A prominent journalist dies, the biological treatment plant divides opinion, the minister is bribed, the starters come and go, the SDOE gets involved, the night owls are disturbed, individual and local interests get tangled up, while surprises and hilarious situations follow one after another...
