Insecurity, a’ a place where people catch a arm only on Sundays.

"Angela" reminds us, according to him, 'How nothing should be considered self -evident. Life is won with small daily battles. Angela fights for our lost dignity, our forgotten ideals, our trampled dreams, and for the love we left because it was difficult… Symbolizes cleaners and migrants, But mostly all of us who are struggling for a better life against vulgarity and today's impasses, in memorandums and in huts, looking for in vain a light of light ».
What is his "Angela"; 'Angela is Athens, is Mama Roma, is Melina, It is Greece that is pulsating, struggling. Between the folk song, In Derie and Seva with Bellou and Kazantzidis sounds, but also in the rock 'n’ roll? and from the beaches of Attica, the moons in Sounio to the current degraded center of Metaxourgio, Next to red lanterns and bought dreams ».
