Crows or the Grave-Digger's Complaint (1991)

The film is based on the short story by Em. Roidis "The Grave-Digger's Complaint", written in 1895. It narrates sometimes in a cheerful and sometimes in a tragic tone the path of a man towards destruction from the moment he was seduced by the sirens of Politics and tries to talk about a real Greece like this as its rulers and advertisers do not want to present it. The main character, a fisherman and landowner from the island of Syros, sells his property and, listening to the wrong information and promises of a parliamentarian, buys shares and comes to Athens for a better life. His fortune quickly dissipates on the stock market and the hero is appointed by the undertaker's deputy to a neighborhood cemetery.
