Mikropolis (Small Towns) – Ekali: The Wall

Mikropolis (small towns) is a series of documentaries focusing on different areas of Attica, within or beyond the city limits of Athens. For each area one word – an architectural feature – has been chosen to characterize it, both visually and socially. This word guides our gaze, our choice of characters, and the elements that make up the portrait of each area. The word for the episode on Ekali is “the walls”. The external walls that surround the mansions of Ekali protect and at the same time isolate. The pet dog and the guard dog. The human guard. While inside the homes – the people, their loneliness, their fears.
