The God was tired. . . He looked at his land and how it had become. . . The people had betrayed him. He decided, therefore, to send to the earth a new God, in their image and likeness, the God they deserved. He then bent down to the earth and vomited. On a Greek island.
The Greek island, a microcosm of today's Greece and the modern culture in general, a tower of Babel where languages, human relationships, and genders intertwine. Manolis, the new Messiah, passes through this space like a somnambulist, unaware of his divine nature until the end. After all, all the other characters pass like sleepwalkers as well.
An illustration of our shattered world, sharp and desperately comedic, yet full of compassion.
