Crows or the Grave-Digger's Complaint
The industrial shares that Argyris Zomas bought lose their value, leading him to financial disaster. Desperate to feed his family, he will be appointed as an undertaker. The film is based on the short story by Em. Roidis "The Grave-Digger's Complaint", written in 1895. It narrates sometimes in a cheerful and sometimes in a tragic tone the path of a man towards destruction from the moment he was seduced by the sirens of Politics and tries to talk about a real Greece like this as its rulers and advertisers do not want to present it. The main character, a fisherman and landowner from the island of Syros, sells his property and, listening to the wrong information and promises of a parliamentarian, buys shares and comes to Athens for a better life. His fortune quickly dissipates on the stock market and the hero is appointed by the undertaker's deputy to a neighborhood cemetery. —Andreas Iliadis
