Director Statement

The place is what defines the social relationships that will develop within it. Without the place, there is no companionship, and without the companionship, there is no place. The Tooth Αnd The Rock is a movie about lost homelands for those who changed without having our own imprints on them. It's the desperate attempt to bring them back to our standards and to lose ourselves in the embrace of our collective heroic self.
