Elefsina, 1974. A band of young teenagers roams their neighborhood spending,

unwittingly, the last summer of their childhood. They challenge each other in pranks,

soccer games, biking around, fighting the opposite gang, diving in an abandoned

cistern, and dealing with grownups. It is that grownup world that encroaches around

them, however, and before the summer is over will transform each one of them

experience, and to often-overlooked times and places, rendering them in probably the

richest Technicolor used in Greek cinema.

Christos Dimas (b. 1969) studied political science in Athens and attended

cinematography seminars in Europe. In 1997 he moved to the US where for a few

years he worked in Northern California as an assistant director in Lucas Film and

semi-autobiographical book “The Acrobats of the Garden”.

In his first feature film, Dimas worked with several well-known actors and

actresses. Themis Bazaka (oldest of three sisters) won the Best Supporting Actress

award in the Thessaloniki Film Festival. The kids crew gives a convincing

performance. Editing and photography are of high quality. Dimas’s storyline spawns

several subplots, but at the end he pulls them all back together.
