Two young children set off alone across Greece to find a father they believe is in Germany.

Sinekatalog’s take

Theo Angelopoulos's road film follows two children walking across Greece toward an imagined father. Poetic, melancholic and visually stunning, with its famous giant hand rising from the sea, it is deeply moving.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
