Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Greek short cinema of the 2000s often explored urban alienation; this predates the country's economic collapse but eerily forecasts its emotional landscape.
Frangopoulos reportedly shot this in a single morning with a real city bus route, meaning some passengers were genuine commuters unaware they were in a film.
