Motorway 65 is set at the edge of the city, within the urban industrial environment of Aspropirgos, home to numerous immigrants, and many Pontic Greek migrants from Russia among them. Motorway 65 is like a succession of small explosions of life on the side of the great highway that leads to Athens.—marni

In the industrial town of Aspropyrgos, two siblings live in a neighbourhood inhabited by immigrants. The area, divided by a narrow bridge and labelled by locals as Upper and Lower Little Moscow, is often in conflict. After all, Greek people from the Black Sea inhabit the one side, while refugees occupy the other part. Time and again, tensions flare between residents. Surrounded by friction, the two relatives have different approaches to dealing with their neighbourhood's antagonism. One is more open to accepting diversity by socialising with people from the wrong side of the tracks. But is there a brighter future beyond Motorway 65?—Nick Riganas
