Canteen (Η καντίνα)

A canteen pitched on the edge of an old coastal national road is open from the time the sun goes down until the morning. The owner, Philip, an amiable, kind 40 year old, works hard to earn a living. Odysseus is his assistant who has not realised his dream to become a lawyer. The only other staff member is Nathaniel, a mysterious guy with a criminal record who is employed as a security guard. The three of them get involved in the problems of all those who stop off at the canteen. Each person who passes through bears his own story, his own pleasure, his own pain and gradually forms a geography of people representative of our society. A society in crisis which at times has its feet firmly on the ground and in other cases is still finding itself.
