This is a movie which is about the Greek revolution of 1821 against Ottoman conquerors and especially about life of Grigorios Dikeos (Papaflessas), a bishop who had been at the forefront of battles for freedom.

Acting of Dimitris Papamichael in this role, it was the best of his long movie career.

The movie did cost about 12.000.000 of Greek drachmas, and it was one of the most expensive film productions of all time in Greek cinema.

Alekos Alexandrakis, Angelos Antonopoulos, Christos Politis and Katia Dandoulaki are the rest of the cast who successfully support Papamichael's leading role.

Touching and tought at the same time, Papaflessas is a Greek movie which anybody who likes historical films could watch with no doubt.
