AMBELOKIPI (VINEYARDS)

Ambelokipi (Vineyards) is a district of Athens which, though outlying when it was first established, now finds itself at the center of the city. Stretching from the “Elena Venizelos” maternity hospital to the Athens Old People’s Home, Ambelokipi comprises historical landmarks such as the refugee housing estates on Alexandras Avenue, the Panathinaikos football pitch, the Averoff prison, the Kountouriotika neighborhood, and many legendary cinemas. The film chronicles the history, the present and the future of the neighborhood of Ambelokipi, from birth, to life and survival, and into old age.
