Point Zero.
A film about human freedom.
1944.Based on true facts, the story of five people attempting to survive the most horrible war humanity ever faced. A concentration camp, a continuous struggle, an attempt to escape and human wreckage. How easy is it to go beyond your limits? How far would you go to stay free?
The "Pavlos Melas" Camp was created by the Ottomans as early as 1881. During the First World War, it was used by the allies as a cavalry and artillery camp. In World War II, it was transformed by the German Occupation forces into a concentration camp for Greeks, Serbs, Albanians and Jews. It was one of the 26 concentration camps in Greece, equal to that of Haidari and was an inexhaustible pool of blood for the German retaliation. During the Civil War it was a place of imprisonment for political prisoners and their relatives. It has been abandoned since 2005.
Quiet.
Enclosure.
Exclusion.
Freedom, the ultimate dream.
Freedom to be who you really are.
Without limits.
A walk in the sea, dawn, a warm smile.
A frozen cell, empty squares, a few innocent people
and blind submission instead.
Without rights, only with obligations.
To obey faithfully, to work blindly,
to breathe quietly.
Until when?
