"The obscene" strictly for adult audiences

Stories from the depths of the human soul, for the time of year when "down comes up" and all can be said. A journey "into the night the unspeakable shapes" that the day is ashamed to tell.

Narration: Dimitris B. Prousalis
Musical accompaniment: Efi Zaitidou (rule)

A REAL LOVE STORY... FROM THE BEGINNING.

For many years, Spyglass Entertainment President Roger Birnbaum wondered if there was a love story that had never been told on the big screen. Until he read in the newspaper about the true story of Kim and Cricket Carpenter from New Mexico: "I read about a couple where the wife completely lost her memory of her husband after a car accident," recalls the producer., which was automatically inspired by this unusual incident. The story of the Carpenters, which even became a book 2000, could be the basis for a promising scenario. Producer Jonathan Glickman explains: "It's a really original story, based on true events, that speaks to all people worldwide, because it deals with the need to adapt to change if you want to keep a relationship alive. She is very emotional by nature, but we didn't want to fall into the trap of melodrama. Our aim was to raise it to the level of classic love stories like 'Our Best Years' and 'Love Story'. We considered including other relationships, with parents, brothers and friends, but also a dose of humor so that it doesn't seem like we take ourselves too seriously".

In order to capture all this on paper, a whole decade had to pass: after several attempts by screenwriters, the producers finally received a version that met their requirements. The next step was to find the right director – which in the end turned out to be rather easy. “When we first met Michael Souksi he won us over straight away. He had identified elements in the story that none of us had thought about," recalls Glickman. "What touched me the most when I read the script was that it described something that could happen to any of us. Usually when we talk about memory loss it has to do with Alzheimer's and old age, while through this story we can all identify with the problem" says Souksi.

An explosive document that shocks the consciences of men and women around the world with its raw realism.
A woman's voice is heard – a single woman with a child in her womb. This woman has no name, nor does it reveal her social status. Besides, it doesn't make sense. This woman could be any woman. How is she treated by those around her?. From the child's father, her parents, her employer. How can a woman feel when she wants to give birth to a child and no one else wants it. Even the child himself.
If the baby that is still in the womb and understood all that is happening, could speak, what would he say;
He would choose this to be born;
However what remains is not a position, positive or negative towards abortion but a renewed self-awareness, through which the search for the true meaning of life and existence is diffused.
The monologue becomes almost a confession. The child's father, the girlfriend, the doctor, the modern doctor, the work boss and the parents. All witness a symbolic trial in which the sentence is decided, which confirms that the woman is always guilty. Is;

The Hellenic Cultural Foundation is headless

Hour zero for the Hellenic Cultural Foundation after the resignation of its Board of Directors, which was accepted by the Minister of Culture Mr. Pavlos Geroulanos. The crisis in the institution has been simmering for some time, culminating in the announcement of the president of Mr. Giorgos Babiniotis, who had reported to the meeting of the Standing Parliamentary Committee on Educational Affairs on 26 January, that the budget of the EIP is not sufficient for its operation and for this reason, in case it does not increase, the members of D. S. they will resign.
However, the institution's budget for the current year is 1.800.000 euro, as stated in his announcement by the Minister of Culture. "The D. S. of the Hellenic Cultural Foundation, considers that it cannot ensure the operation of the Foundation with a budget 1.800.000 euros for the current year. We can't, therefore, than to accept the resignations of its members", noted in the announcement.
Following this, the operation of the branch of the Hellenic Cultural Foundation in Berlin is probably being extended, which Mr. Babiniotis was about to close, due to excessive operating costs with the prospect of keeping the branches in Alexandria open, Belgrade, Bucharest, Melbourne, Odessa, Sofia, Trieste and Tirana.
To redefine the role of the institution in the promotion of Greek culture, something that has long been necessary, however, the Minister of Culture speaks in his announcement, who should form the new Board of Directors.
