7 scenes from the film
7. Nowadays music and paintings don’t work any more
Once, back in the old days, Hara told me:
An old woman doesn’t want to feel confined in her apartment,
she longs for a view of the sea.
And I sit down at that very moment, and paint this picture, you must know it,
“the old sailor with the pipe”, the one who gazes endlessly!
And the picture goes into every apartment
and ever since then, old ladies all around the world dream of seas and travels.
No one is touched by a simple picture anymore.
6. Cinema is the future
Are you mad?
People are losing it.
So you’re asking me to tell you a wish.
Be lucky. That’s my favourite.
Yes, for sure. Be lucky.
My turn, ok!
For there to be life on other planets. That’s my wish.
Five Angels live in a movie theatre, in every movie theatre.
In there they eat, sleep and fall in love, disguised as ushers, projectionists and bartenders.
Their mission is to make the world better.
And to accomplish this they create works of art:
Paintings, Poems, Music, Theatre, and of course
Cinema.
A rooster's egg for every wish. Thousands of eggs arrive here every day.
And the newcomer in the group, Manolis, studies them carefully and there in their yolks, deep inside the yellow
he sees people and listens to their wishes.
For Stratos. Give him a kiss!
5. The Awesome Storm Man
The digital stuff is Leonardo's job ladies and gentlemen!
What? The hard work again?
Don’t like it? Would you rather act?
Hey, this is real hard stuff! No thanks!
Great! So, Leonardo is on camera and sound.You said something?
Hara is the assistant director, I am the director naturally and finally ladies and gentlemen,
in the leading role, for the first time on your screens,
“The Awesome Storm Man” : Stratos!
4. Shame on you! You traitor!
I miss the forest too, but then I say this cinema is also a forest, isn’t it?
This is our forest today, what can we do?
A ticket please.
Thank you very much!
You're very welcome!
The forest! Leonardo misses the forest, he says.
The forest didn’t have chicks like that, right?
Did you see her?
Shame on you!You traitor!
ACTION!!!
3. The forest
Sometimes I dream of the forest
not just any forest, the forest of our own.
You will say : "there is only one forest and it belongs to everyone"
And I 'll say : "there is at least one forest just for you and me"
That's why we wander in the forest, that's why we walk trough it.
Time expands inside the forest. Facts become significant. Even the insignificant ones.
Such as the kiss I gave you and you called me a traitor.
All things are significant in the forest, even the insignificant ones.
There are people who have lived their entire life in the forest
and others who have never seen a single tree
and that is also a reason that makes the forest so great
because it separates people to those who lived
and to those who think they have lived.
The forest exists within us, it's our natural route to the other.
You will say : "there is only one forest and it belongs to everyone"
And I'll say : "there is at least one forest just for you and me"
2. Eggs
I like food. Eating! We're being starved in here.
Same *** in tiny portions, as if we 're poor! *** that!!!
gluttony
I am a bon viveur! I like eating!
I love food, loads of food.
I love food!
This is what I call food!!! That’s better!
Stop it!!!
My turn?
Right, I ll tell you!
My best wish is that you travel.
Definitely.
1. The truth
But one day, one day we shall behold at last,
face to face,
fully and clearly
the truth.
