    • Synopsis
    • In the early 1970s, with Greece under the
      rule of a military junta, pre-teen Stavros
      discovers a strange accompaniment to
      the awakening of eros: he subverts the
      meanings of classical myths, creating
      strange physical symptoms in those
      around him. Stavros’ conservative
      parents, perplexed and flustered, take him
      from specialist to specialist. Diagnoses
      vary, until a fortune-teller deems that the
      boy is victim of a rare, ancient disease,
      which exhibits himself when he is in love.
      After the collapse of the junta, as Stavros
      meets the toils of love and politics in
      university, the influence of his strange
      affliction extends, from his immediate
      environment into the political arena...
