A movie about what is fake and what is real, that flutters between documentary and fiction. A film about flying and falling, the human need to fly, fear of heights, vertigo, utopia, Gods and man. Inspired by the ancient Greek comedy Ornithes by Aristophanes and the Nikos Karathanos’s theatre performance of the same title, which was staged at the Onassis Stegi.
