Synopsis
Terry Papadinas, 56 years old, lives in Thessaloniki Greece, is a musician and is desperately seeking for a job. Raised in New York during the 60’s, he became an absolute star of the indie rock scene of the time upon his return to Greece. A charming and charismatic idol, he is also a classical representative of the rock subculture, typified by reactionary self destruction. Today, withdrawn, living on the fringes of society, in de profundis confessions on camera, he reveals a psychic reality that reflects on wider societal phenomena. It is a story of a life galvanized to the values of rock mythology and a unique journey with the songs of a forgotten artist, painfully seeking recognition and salvation.
