Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

One of the few Greek films to seriously examine the emotional fallout of the Junta-era diaspora, when educated Greeks fled to engineering jobs abroad.

Insight

The title refers to a specific Greek candy associated with childhood—the kind of sensory detail that makes the nostalgia physically palpable.
