Internal Migration
The film follows a woman's internal migration through her childhood memories and descriptions of places and situations. In 1950, we see her at age 10 in her village in Macedonia; in 1956, at age 16 in Thessaloniki; and in 1960, her wedding in Athens marks a new phase in her life. Internal Migration, the director's most autobiographical film, was groundbreaking for its time in addressing the violent separation of a woman from her environment, while her move from her birthplace to another place becomes the occasion for an inner journey through the times and spaces of memory. She is followed by the echoes of the Civil War, rock and roll, the poets she loved—Karyotakis, Patrikios, Embeirikos—books, and films.
