Poste Restante – Omonia

Poste Restante – Ομόνοια

A mixture of fact and fiction about the nightlife in Omonia Square and vicinity. Moving faces and events that happen in the square were set up and filmed with the real characters who haunt the area and who agreed to re-enact what they live through each night. Finally, true confessions of the people of Omonia, taken from their personal nocturnal experiences, comprise a connecting off-screen link with the various incidents which occur in the square.
