The Sacred Rock

Inside the British Museum, a young man is going through a haunting experience. Back in Athens, his involvement in the restoration works of the Acropolis takes on a totally new meaning.The restoration works continue. A battle against time. The young man’s life merges into the nights spent on the Acropolis; into the changing seasons; into his secret relationship with the Acropolis; into what the Acropolis means to us today.
