A documentary about Eleusina. The past and the present, in complete antithesis, coexist in a place spoiled by modern industry but which long ago hosted the Eleusinian Mysteries, the secret ceremonies that initiated the ancient Greeks into the miracles of life, death and the afterlife.
IMDB - 3 wins
This is an amazing Documentary film. It took about 10 year to shoot. Persons, actual every day people, appear in various ages. It speaks about Greece ancient ruins, the way they speak to anyone of us, the philosophical consideration of our own existence, not relevant to ones education but the touching feelings of ancient whispering spirit. You can't talk about it. You have to watch it. No effort is needed. It speaks directly to you. The director follows the excavation steps taken to uncover a Necropolis (Cemetery) just next to our homes, flats, yards. Even though everything seems ordinary, the Toombs reveal bones and gifts for the down word undertaker. People irrelevant to the scientific world try to save the ruins from becoming a new profit cause of real estate. The fate is unbeatable. Ten years later all lost. Greece is full up of ruins. Ancient and modern. Dead with life and stoned living. Nothing in the filming is planned. Just a documentary shooting but with a big difference to discover.
