From the Snow
Sotiris Goritsas | Greece | 1994 | 90 min.

When the borders between Greece and Albania were redrawn in 1914, a large group of Greek-speaking people were separated from their homeland. Ostracized by the Albanians and without legal status as Greek citizens, an entire community found themselves trapped. In 1990, as the fall of the Albanian regime was fast approaching, the exodus into Greece began. This film follows the journey of a family of strangers as they forge their way back to the land of their dreams.
