The Philosopher (I Have Something to Say)

TIFF65: Greek Premiere

The comedy of a thinking man who wants his philosophical views to be taken seriously when he is nothing but a failed filmmaker. Stavros teaches at a film school. He asks the scripts to have some deep meaning. So, he has very few students in his class and loses his job. He decides to write down his thoughts about deeper meaning in a book. Unfortunately, no one seems interested in this. But then he finds an unexpected reader…
