Director Statement

This project started during my summer holidays in early August in Crete. It is a tribute to the summers of my childhood and the things or persons that represented them. For me, my grandfather was the central figure of my summers in the village. I played between memory and recollection. Plato said that memories have to do with our past incarnations, so I have made a correspondence between summers then and summer as I live it now or in my present life.
