Beautiful, great film making

This is one of the few instances in film history that such a beautiful work was made out of almost nothing. Most people cannot know that the making of this film was a miracle. Even if you hear it from the lips of Koundouros himself, still it seems unbelievable. The majority of films appear so bad so utter failures when you think making something beautiful like this one is so simple even if you start from nothing.

Trivia
In 1953, Koundouros, released from prison island Makronisos, visited the refugee camp Drogouti, where he was inspired to shoot this film. Part of the crew and the cast were his co-prisoners, like Thanasis Vengos and Manos Katrakis.
