1949, towards the end of the Greek Civil War. Yannis, the son of a rebel, is torn from his village and deported to the Childcare Cities where his ideas and desires are manipulated. Nightmares and dark feelings for his father slowly inhabit his heart. Only when he reaches adulthood does he redefine his existence, so he decides to go and meet the man.
Directed by Eleni Alexandrakis, Giannis in the Cities leans on a strong ensemble — Filippos Milikas, Marios Konstantinos Galetzas, Konstantinos Athanasakis — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2024.
