Eniochos - The Charioteer

The story of the life of a modern Greek from 1941 to the present. A university student before the war, he finds himself imprisoned by the Italians. He escapes to the mountains. The rebels find him and take him with them. After the experience of the first battle, he lives through the Resistance, always keeping a certain distance from events. A purely epic film/fresco of Greece of the past 50 years, "Eniochos - The Charioteer" rivets the viewer with the breath-taking, harsh scenes of the first part and the lyrical-elegiac ones that follow. If Damianos uses the Charioteer as the emblematic figure of his film, it is because he represents competitiveness, vigilance, and a love of the struggle, i.e. life itself.
