Gas Station or The Pigeons of Lahore

Gas Station or the Pigeons of Lahore

26th TIDF: World Premiere

The parallel stories of four Pakistani immigrants in Greece become the trigger for the director to explore the story of his father, a worker in the Perama Shipyard. The background unfolds a most deadly shipwreck, Libyan immigrants found in limbo, as well as a (possibly racist) crime, which was committed during the shooting of this film.
