Searching for Rodakis
SYNOPSIS:
As a Greek tombstone of unknown origin is discovered underneath the floorboards in an old village house in Turkey, an almost forgotten story from the country’s creation unravels; the forced population exchange between Greece and Turkey in 1923. The stone becomes a portal to the past – and for a while, the trauma becomes redeemed when the previous owners of the village house return.
