Goodbye, Lixouri

Ληξούρι, αντίο

A writer makes an angel descend from the sky, meet a young boy and narrate his personal history concerning his unknown and unrealized past, present and future in a given place and time. Persons, situations, live and frozen events come up in the narrative. At crucial moments, a confessional second narrative is introduced, that of the writer himself.
