Days of December 2008. Violent riots in Athens as a reaction to the killing of a young student by a policeman. The beautiful historical city center reduced to ashes, ruined properties, vandalized buildings and monuments. Who protects us from the protectors of all flags and ideologies? A video that does not try to take sides nor explain anything, but simply records (and deplores) one of the most irrational events in Greece's modern history. The patriotic poem What Is Our Homeland? by Ioannis Polemis (1862-1924) takes on a bitterly sarcastic twist, juxtaposed to those images of hate, destruction and despair.
