The Unknown Athenians

“I always wondered how stray dogs survive in the center of such a big, chaotic city like Athens. That is something unique compared to other European cities.

By following them, I discovered their secret saviors and benefactors who spend time and money to take care of them. This unique, symbiotic relationship sparked my interest.

Through the dogs’ and the peoples’ stories, the film sketches a touching portrait of the stray dogs of Athens living in the city streets and, at the same time, becomes a love letter to the capital of Greece, the place where I was born, grew up and spent my youth.”
