Thanasis in the land of the cuff
The movie is about dictatorships in Greece â first, the Metaxas regime (1936-1940), and then the Colonelsâ Junta (1967-74). In Part One, the Metaxas regime is depicted as a circus, where Thanasis (Thanasis Vengos) is a clown trying to conceal a young colleagueâs subversive action. In Part Two, we see Thanasis suffer because of his honesty and kindness, in a country where the systemâs irrationality is clearly evident.
