    The narrative of the project unfolds inside a taxi, during its drive through the streets of Athens, in December 2008 and January 2009.
    It is a documentary under question, a film-journey in which levels of reality, of co-existing places and of information overlap and interchange.
    It is a collection of narratives and tales about the city and its political events, with specific reference to the uprisings in Athens and the attacks on Gaza.
    All these encounters take place within a taxi as it journeys through the streets of Athens, with its driver the artist herself.

    Soti Triantafillou & Andreas Pagoulatos are performing and participating with their text in the film.
