HERACLES, ACHELOOS AND MY GRANNY -1997
Dimitra Koutsiabasakos lives alone in the village of Armatoliko, in the mountain range of Pindus. Next to her house flows the ancient river Acheloos, which is the physical border between Armatoliko and Mesochora villages. Near this place a great dam is being built, a key-work for the diversion of the Acheloos river. Dimitra’s house lies exactly in the middle of the area destined to become a lake after the construction of the dam.
Two of her grand-children, Dimitris and Costas, decide to pay a visit to their grandmother and make a documentary.
