Plato's Academy (Akadimia Platonos) (Ακαδημία Πλάτωνος)

Who's that over there?

What's his name?

Her condition is getting slowly worse.

Stavros.

One minute she knows me, the next she doesn't.

Sometimes I am Stavros...

sometimes Salih, sometimes Remzi.

Does she watch the Turkish soap opera?

A second stroke could be fatal.

One more question...

I have an issue with sleeping.

- Meaning? - I can't sleep.

I go to bed, then I wake up, then go back to bed again...

- Since when? - It's been years.

Are you under stress?

Let's go, mom.

What do you do for a living?

I run a small shop. Does it matter?

Everything matters.

Is there something wrong in your life?

Can you take my life and give me someone else's?

PLATO'S ACADEMY

Salih!

Why are you going this way?

Agisilaou is now a one way street.

- So, why are you going this way? - I can't go through Agisilaou.

Go the way we always go!

- It's a one way street, I can't. - Go the way we always go!

I told you, I can't, it's illegal.

Go the way we always go!

DRIVING SCHOOL

Goodnight, Salih dear...

- Hello? - Hey, it's me.

Who?

Stavros.

Stavros who?

Are you coming down or should I come up?

Someone should make the first step.

You didn't and I just felt like it.

Are you coming down or should I come up?

Thanks, I don't smoke anymore.

- How's work? - God bless women.

Men can't handle a female driving instructor.

- It makes sense... - Yes, it does...

What about you?

I've missed you...

I've missed you!

We never had any fun. What exactly have you missed?

It wasn't that bad.

What was the problem? My mother?

"I married you, not you and your mother!", you used to say.

You stopped paying attention to me. That was the problem.

It was me, you and your mom in one house...

and I couldn't breathe.

I couldn't breathe and you didn't pay attention to me.

I'm here. I'll be back in five minutes!

Is this going to stop or what?

So you can breathe with him?

Yes, I do.

Are you coming up or shall I come down?

I've really missed you.

- Do you sleep at all? - No.

- Are you taking sleeping pills? - They don't help at all.

Good night.

Dina?

Patriot! That's your food for the day.

It's all yours!

That's all for today!

This is it! Okay?

This is it!

One day, he will attack you.

It's part of the training.

What are you laughing at?

Yesterday he barked at someone!

He barks at everyone! Poor puppy is starving!

He only barks at Albanians!

He barks at everyone!

Only at Albanians!

What's going on?

- He didn't bark at you. - I am not an Albanian, am I?

I'll bet you five bucks that he will bark at one of us.

- I'm in! - Good!

- Go for it! - Why do I have to go first?

- Just go, man! - I'm not going.

- Come on, we are all gonna do it! - OK, I'm going.

See?

I knew it!

That's my boy! That's my Patriot, good boy!

Is there a problem?

Never run away when a dog barks at you.

I got work to do.

What kind of work?

What's your number? I need some help at home.

6936244477.

- Name? - Nikos.

Your Albanian name, fool!

What's wrong with you, people? Changing your names.

You're never going to be Greek, Albanian!

Remzi!

Are you nuts, mom?

What do you want?

Check that out!

Are you nuts, mom?

The Chinese are stealing our Albanians now!

- Let it play! - I can't stand it!

- This is music too! - It's not the same thing!

- Why not? - Rock music isn't just music!

It's a concept. It's an ideology.

- A way of living! - Exactly! A way of living.

- What kind of living? - He doesn't get it, man.

When you go to those bars, what do you do?

- What do I do? - You just listen to music.

- And I dance too. - Okay, you dance too.

Do you know what we did?

1982! Rory Gallagher concert...

At the Stadium of AEK.

The first concert after the Junta.

- So, what did you do? - We went crazy!

We tore the whole stadium apart... And the speakers!

People were running away!

At the concert of the "Police" we went crazy too...

We always went crazy!

We didn't go just for the music!

That's what rock is!

Just Greek shows! That's what the doctor said!

- Salih? - See? You've got to stop that!

Have a good night, Stavros.

Mom?

You're cooking!

Nice, mom! Cooking in the middle of the night!

Nice, mommy. That's what I'm talking about.

Very nice.

Dinner for two? I'll set the table!

That's my mom!

Something incredible happened!

I rang the bell and mom let me in.

Didn't I tell you not to open the door to strangers?

My mother, my brother and me.

When I saw your mother, it hit me.

I showed her the picture and she immediately said...

that that's her, that's me and that's you.

Incredible, right?

Who is this, mom?

Mom speaks Albanian!

Mom, what are you saying?

- Mom says... - What mom?

- Salih! - Mother!

Maybe I'm wrong.

I only have a picture.

But she speaks Albanian. How is that possible?

When dad died, someone promised to bring her to Greece.

That night, Remzi got sick.

She left the sick child behind and brought Salih to Greece.

That's you.

We've lived apart for so long, now we're back together.

It's OK. Calm down. It's all over now, all right?

Listen, guys. There are more than yesterday.

Thirteen...

Fifteen...

Fourteen...

They are thirteen!

Is the guy that just came out the same guy that went in before?

Is he the same guy?

They're definitely more than last week.

Even more than yesterday!

- Fifteen. - Thirteen.

Twelve...

- This is impossible. - There's no way to count them.

Let's just eyeball it.

There are more than yesterday.

Sit down, mom.

Marlboro.

Remzi?

You're not leaving again, are you?

We're going shopping and then for lunch together.

- Can I go? - Why are you doing this to me?

Did I do something wrong?

She can't believe we're all together again.

What's your problem?

I got someone to take care of my mom.

- Great, man! - Nice, Stavros!

Yeah, but you have an Albanian in your own house.

That's risky.

Cut it out! The guy solved a huge problem.

INTERCULTURAL SOLIDARITY MONUMENT

- What does intercult mean? - The word is intercultural.

There's no such thing as intercult solidarity.

And what's interculture?

You barely know what solidarity means.

Greece helps everyone get in the EU.

We helped Turkey, now we'll help Albania too!

Hey, man!

How would you feel if I took over the football field...

that you've been playing at for 40 years?

Me, the visitor!

Calm down, guys.

- It's the Mayor's decision. - It's our football field!

- Want me to let the dog free? - It's not worth it.

Over my dead body! You're not building anything!

Go tell the Mayor!
