Nature vs. human is on display in Georgis Grigorakis's new film set in the remote woods of a lesser shown part of Greece. Not only that but son vs. father is also front and center, with legendary Greek actor Vangelis Mourikis as Nikitas who was absent from his son Jonny's (well known theater actor Argyris Pandazaras) life for the past two decades. Both father and son have to dig deep to try to come to peace with one another and with the land that they were both left behind, which Nikita has called his home for as long as Jonny was absent. 

Here's a video message from Georgis Grigorakis and actor Argyris Pandazaras. 

****UPDATE: An extended interview with the filmmaker will be posted in the coming days.
