DOCVILLE: 11, ANDRIANOU ST., KERATSINI

11, Andrianou St., Keratsini is an episode of Docville, a cinema-verite documentary series about urban life in Greece today, during a time of crisis: In the working-class neighborhood at Keratsini, Piraeus, there is a place were elderly people can come and pass the time: the First Elderly Care Center or KAPI. It’s an important recourse for those that go there every morning. Through participating in its different activities, but mainly by communicating with and supporting each other, the elderly resist loneliness and enjoy life. Among them are Manolis and Theodora, the oldest couple at this KAPI. Their passion for life, their spryness and secret strength, their love for each other but also for others make them stand out from among all those who, after having spent so many years at the First Keratsini KAPI, feel as if they’ve made a new family there.
