The Path That Walks
The kitchen resembles memory a lot. It’s where the film begins. Something is being transmitted.
In the kitchen, the dormitories, and the surrounding forest slowly our voices intertwine, opening a hidden door. From there, the film moves between the personal and the mythological. Between my adolescence in Crete, a teacher who revealed to me the power of words, and a lost ancient story about life, death, and transformation.
And between the teenagers I meet at the school – marked by abandonment, migration, violence, and emotional neglect, learning how to become cooks.
