1
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:07,869


2
00:00:11,175 --> 00:00:23,833


3
00:00:26,266 --> 00:00:30,125


4
00:00:30,126 --> 00:00:37,055
Before they were ghosts, they were people.
In the city.

5
00:00:37,503 --> 00:00:38,589


6
00:00:38,965 --> 00:00:46,032
They met on the day after the last day of
their lives.

7
00:00:48,766 --> 00:00:54,644
On the last night of his life, he stayed
up late translating Thucydides.

8
00:00:54,645 --> 00:00:56,645


9
00:00:57,651 --> 00:01:00,167
On the last night of her life,

10
00:01:00,168 --> 00:01:08,096
after the fight in her father's kitchen,
she set the family record on fire.

11
00:01:08,437 --> 00:01:18,581


12
00:01:29,958 --> 00:01:32,092


13
00:01:39,060 --> 00:01:45,458
That night, he ran into fate disguised as
the dawn.

14
00:01:45,459 --> 00:01:47,490


15
00:01:47,491 --> 00:01:49,801


16
00:01:51,065 --> 00:01:55,497


17
00:02:03,718 --> 00:02:04,804


18
00:02:07,093 --> 00:02:09,274


19
00:02:09,275 --> 00:02:11,379


20
00:02:11,380 --> 00:02:17,574
And when he walked out of the sea, he was
a ghost.

21
00:02:21,707 --> 00:02:28,307


22
00:02:31,950 --> 00:02:39,286


23
00:02:45,977 --> 00:02:49,058


24
00:02:50,142 --> 00:02:52,970


25
00:02:56,019 --> 00:03:00,898
A blue door opened to a blue world.

26
00:03:00,899 --> 00:03:03,618
Blue, blue.

27
00:03:03,619 --> 00:03:07,459
A strap fell from the shoulder of the sky.

28
00:03:18,774 --> 00:03:21,572


29
00:03:22,461 --> 00:03:27,572


30
00:03:27,743 --> 00:03:29,379


31
00:03:29,380 --> 00:03:37,517
The city spills with ghosts of those who
could not let it go.

32
00:03:39,300 --> 00:03:43,738


33
00:03:43,739 --> 00:03:47,576


34
00:03:49,417 --> 00:03:51,868


35
00:03:56,410 --> 00:04:01,218


36
00:04:01,219 --> 00:04:06,314
She swallows, notes her throat's
vanishing.

37
00:04:12,806 --> 00:04:15,265
Chris?

38
00:04:16,797 --> 00:04:21,244


39
00:04:38,045 --> 00:04:42,492


40
00:04:52,461 --> 00:04:58,329


41
00:04:59,321 --> 00:05:02,518


42
00:05:05,494 --> 00:05:07,021


43
00:05:08,593 --> 00:05:09,340


44
00:05:09,341 --> 00:05:18,040
In the city, the color of the truth
changes like the color of a ghost in the
light.

45
00:05:24,396 --> 00:05:25,634


46
00:05:30,259 --> 00:05:34,608
I don't want to see you everywhere.

47
00:05:34,609 --> 00:05:39,718


48
00:05:42,384 --> 00:05:45,708


49
00:05:45,908 --> 00:05:53,891


50
00:05:58,980 --> 00:06:02,216
I just want to remember.

51
00:06:02,369 --> 00:06:08,189


52
00:06:09,044 --> 00:06:13,554


53
00:06:15,739 --> 00:06:19,122


54
00:06:23,540 --> 00:06:26,952
I arrived before the war.

55
00:06:26,953 --> 00:06:30,019
I never liked the city I left behind.

56
00:06:30,020 --> 00:06:32,675
They told me where to find love.

57
00:06:36,165 --> 00:06:39,547
I looked elsewhere.

58
00:06:40,117 --> 00:06:44,936


59
00:06:45,537 --> 00:06:51,581


60
00:06:58,824 --> 00:07:01,739
Did you think it would be like home?

61
00:07:02,612 --> 00:07:08,659
Home is an idea I never had.

62
00:07:08,660 --> 00:07:13,138
The history of the plague of Athens is not
a medical account,

63
00:07:13,139 --> 00:07:18,138
but a moral story posing as a medical
account.

64
00:07:18,139 --> 00:07:23,618
I moved here for my father. But he’s a
fake. Nothing here is real.

65
00:07:23,619 --> 00:07:25,859
Even the marble is repainted.

66
00:07:25,860 --> 00:07:29,539
The marble is fake, it’s from the 60s.
It's made of plastic.

67
00:07:29,540 --> 00:07:37,618
The marble was eaten by pollution because
nobody cared.

68
00:07:37,619 --> 00:07:44,093
The marble is the most beautiful thing
I've ever seen.

69
00:07:47,850 --> 00:07:49,326


70
00:07:51,129 --> 00:07:53,562
Also that.

71
00:07:57,050 --> 00:08:00,367


72
00:08:04,062 --> 00:08:04,861


73
00:08:04,862 --> 00:08:07,857


74
00:08:19,763 --> 00:08:19,769


75
00:08:19,770 --> 00:08:25,459
She went to the wrong party. She fled her
own reflection.

76
00:08:25,460 --> 00:08:31,138
She ran into the deep, bright city night.

77
00:08:31,139 --> 00:08:37,445
Here, even darkness is a kind of light.

78
00:08:40,481 --> 00:08:44,256


79
00:08:57,843 --> 00:09:01,045
What do you want to remember?

80
00:09:01,376 --> 00:09:04,640
The chocolate hazelnut paste of his eyes.

81
00:09:04,641 --> 00:09:06,164


82
00:09:06,781 --> 00:09:08,091


83
00:09:08,500 --> 00:09:12,274
The stain of honey on cardboard.

84
00:09:12,796 --> 00:09:14,553
What do you want?

85
00:09:14,554 --> 00:09:17,008


86
00:09:20,420 --> 00:09:25,828
Anthi You can die of wanting, and go on
doing it.

87
00:09:28,082 --> 00:09:30,501


88
00:09:33,108 --> 00:09:35,716


89
00:09:35,717 --> 00:09:37,839


90
00:09:40,953 --> 00:09:44,957


91
00:09:46,900 --> 00:09:52,388
I spent my life being ignored by
everything I want.

92
00:09:52,389 --> 00:09:54,389


93
00:09:55,459 --> 00:09:59,637
I can't spend my death that way.

94
00:10:00,506 --> 00:10:02,909


95
00:10:06,774 --> 00:10:13,795


96
00:10:17,612 --> 00:10:21,483


97
00:10:29,466 --> 00:10:36,245
]

98
00:10:36,665 --> 00:10:40,823


99
00:10:40,824 --> 00:10:45,352


100
00:10:48,579 --> 00:10:52,834
In the city, thirst is not quenched,

101
00:10:52,835 --> 00:10:54,899
it is erased.

102
00:10:58,740 --> 00:11:02,275
Being here was supposed to make me someone
else.

103
00:11:04,770 --> 00:11:07,987
There is still time.

104
00:11:11,342 --> 00:11:13,300


105
00:11:15,453 --> 00:11:17,845


106
00:11:17,846 --> 00:11:20,633


107
00:11:23,569 --> 00:11:28,188
When the plague hit the city, many died.
Not Thucydides.

108
00:11:28,189 --> 00:11:34,508
I always think... I can't help it, I think
he must have done something unspeakable.

109
00:11:34,779 --> 00:11:36,948
I mean, how else does one survive?

110
00:11:37,188 --> 00:11:39,174
I didn't. Did I?

111
00:11:39,175 --> 00:11:40,396


112
00:11:42,019 --> 00:11:43,967


113
00:11:45,266 --> 00:11:50,141


114
00:11:54,099 --> 00:11:58,499
Outside the old police station on
Bouboulina Street,

115
00:11:58,500 --> 00:12:03,300
a girl waits forty years for her lover

116
00:12:03,608 --> 00:12:06,189
who's never emerged.

117
00:12:07,756 --> 00:12:14,765
Narrator: In the city, even cheap romances carry
scars from the junta.

118
00:12:15,646 --> 00:12:19,322


119
00:12:32,015 --> 00:12:35,779
Fragrant rosacea of the summer trees

120
00:12:35,780 --> 00:12:39,476
where the jackboots of the riot cops echo.

121
00:12:39,477 --> 00:12:44,633
The air is lilac and diesel.

122
00:12:49,780 --> 00:12:55,780
The past is thick enough to choke on.

123
00:12:59,536 --> 00:13:12,016
The juntas ghosts linger. There is no
package tour through the torture rooms of
the CIA.

124
00:13:14,179 --> 00:13:18,655
An aggravation of the existing calamity
was

125
00:13:18,656 --> 00:13:22,636
the influx from the country into the city,
and this

126
00:13:22,637 --> 00:13:27,106
was especially felt by
the new arrivals.

127
00:13:28,979 --> 00:13:33,102
What's the difference between a refugee
and a tourist?

128
00:13:33,103 --> 00:13:35,524
The tourists are everywhere.

129
00:13:35,525 --> 00:13:39,198
They are hungry. They are lost.

130
00:13:39,199 --> 00:13:43,694
Hmm. What's the punchline?

131
00:13:44,986 --> 00:13:47,481


132
00:13:48,059 --> 00:13:53,633


133
00:13:57,300 --> 00:13:59,520
The whole street is a gift.

134
00:13:59,521 --> 00:14:03,458
A pigeon in a state of
rampant death on the road,

135
00:14:03,459 --> 00:14:08,768
wings outstretched. How does the heart fly
so far from the body?

136
00:14:08,769 --> 00:14:12,109
Up, up, up, past the awning.

137
00:14:13,102 --> 00:14:14,933
They turn a corner

138
00:14:14,934 --> 00:14:18,957
and suddenly the police are beating this
guy in the middle of the street.

139
00:14:18,958 --> 00:14:21,261
He's lost a flip-flop.

140
00:14:21,771 --> 00:14:25,548
The bystanders are just... standing by.

141
00:14:25,699 --> 00:14:29,303
- Shaking their heads.
- This doesn't happen in
Greece, they say.

142
00:14:29,304 --> 00:14:33,299
The guy's face is just blood and noise.

143
00:14:33,300 --> 00:14:35,174
And then he's gone.

144
00:14:35,175 --> 00:14:37,174
The cops are gone.

145
00:14:37,175 --> 00:14:41,852
The empty plastic flip-flop lies there in
the road.

146
00:14:45,059 --> 00:14:48,426


147
00:14:49,630 --> 00:14:52,574
I found a body in a taxi and it was me.

148
00:14:52,575 --> 00:14:56,300
The body was made of marble. The taxi was
made of smoke.

149
00:14:56,301 --> 00:15:02,758
The millennia got lost down an alley and
returned, out of order.

150
00:15:06,260 --> 00:15:11,698
At work, we used to think language was
carved in stone,

151
00:15:11,699 --> 00:15:15,529
but it's more like water.

152
00:15:15,530 --> 00:15:22,553
I drank so much salt water and it did not.
Erase. My thirst.

153
00:15:24,819 --> 00:15:32,785
History is written by the victor. It
elbows its way into the present,

154
00:15:35,699 --> 00:15:39,007
where you can die of it.

155
00:15:39,008 --> 00:15:40,982


156
00:15:41,300 --> 00:15:45,841
Find me the victor.

157
00:15:45,842 --> 00:15:57,041

158
00:16:03,300 --> 00:16:09,559


159
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:18,156
At café tables in every square, they splay
the yellowed paper of their hands.

160
00:16:18,157 --> 00:16:25,435
They say, in a country like Greece, every
fucking stone has underneath it blood.

161
00:16:25,436 --> 00:16:31,180
I dreamed the skin of this city fell off
and there were no bones underneath.

162
00:16:31,181 --> 00:16:37,031
No. Nothing but the space between where
the bones had been.

163
00:16:38,385 --> 00:16:43,714
I lifted a stone and found
nothing.

164
00:16:44,526 --> 00:16:48,974
Like one day, you’ll lift the stone of my
life. Or not.

165
00:16:51,527 --> 00:16:53,079
What are you thinking?

166
00:16:54,131 --> 00:17:01,039
I think of my mother always preparing
dinner for the daughter-in law-who never
arrive.

167
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:06,800
There are words you cannot carry. Words
rush in with their history,

168
00:17:07,300 --> 00:17:09,634
make shrapnel of themselves.

169
00:17:12,980 --> 00:17:14,981
Could we visit?

170
00:17:14,982 --> 00:17:16,384


171
00:17:19,859 --> 00:17:25,651
She so adored the son I could have been,
had I been anyone else.

172
00:17:30,579 --> 00:17:37,459


173
00:17:37,460 --> 00:17:40,980
Anthi It is enough.

174
00:17:46,870 --> 00:17:52,761


175
00:17:58,133 --> 00:18:03,503


176
00:18:12,461 --> 00:18:24,210


177
00:18:30,659 --> 00:18:38,260
They came to a place known, as if for the
first time.

178
00:18:42,427 --> 00:18:46,596


179
00:18:47,358 --> 00:18:50,341


180
00:18:55,540 --> 00:19:04,077
Where the fabric of existence was ripped,
possibility flooded in.

181
00:19:04,078 --> 00:19:08,995


182
00:19:19,034 --> 00:19:26,386


183
00:19:29,302 --> 00:19:32,517


184
00:19:33,072 --> 00:19:34,558


185
00:19:34,559 --> 00:19:46,180


186
00:19:51,220 --> 00:20:37,699


187
00:20:37,700 --> 00:20:42,519
The moon white as bitten skin. She says,

188
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:45,635
“I can taste the fruit stains on your
hands.”

189
00:20:46,272 --> 00:20:47,422
He says,

190
00:20:47,780 --> 00:20:53,894
“People are nothing but lines on paper,
and we've been written in water.”

191
00:20:57,139 --> 00:21:01,812
The night a broken tiara, the night’s
eyeliner running.

192
00:21:01,813 --> 00:21:06,671
The city is a girl getting ready for the
wrong party.

193
00:21:06,672 --> 00:21:09,401
His lungs fill with liquid.

194
00:21:09,402 --> 00:21:12,035
She starts to shake and shake and shake.

195
00:21:12,036 --> 00:21:14,961
Unbelonging is a homeland.

196
00:21:14,962 --> 00:21:17,641
Unbelonging is a homeland.

197
00:21:17,642 --> 00:21:20,635
 Unbelonging is a homeland.

198
00:21:20,636 --> 00:21:25,733
This is not their place to haunt. It was
never theirs.

199
00:21:25,734 --> 00:21:33,071
Waves of gray sky congregate over the
city, softly in the wake of their regrets.

200
00:21:33,072 --> 00:21:38,935
She went to the wrong party. He had always
been the wrong person.

201
00:21:41,220 --> 00:21:46,673
Into her ear he whispers, but the waves
are so loud.

202
00:21:46,674 --> 00:21:52,324
A country without history, a family
without a past.

203
00:21:52,325 --> 00:21:56,519
This isn't suffering.

204
00:21:59,425 --> 00:22:02,331


205
00:22:07,549 --> 00:22:11,279
It is enough.

206
00:22:12,528 --> 00:22:20,178


207
00:22:26,577 --> 00:22:28,587


208
00:22:34,715 --> 00:22:38,860


209
00:22:43,300 --> 00:22:49,540
Believe it or not, all of this is true.

210
00:22:51,307 --> 00:23:00,077


211
00:23:05,052 --> 00:23:15,889


212
00:23:22,415 --> 00:23:28,942


213
00:23:38,559 --> 00:23:48,617


214
00:23:50,241 --> 00:23:58,737
Just a perfect day drink sangria in a park

215
00:23:58,738 --> 00:24:07,232
and then later when it gets dark we go
home

216
00:24:11,139 --> 00:24:19,442
Just a perfect day feed animals in the zoo

217
00:24:19,443 --> 00:24:27,936
and then later a movie, too and then home

218
00:24:27,937 --> 00:24:40,160
Oh it's such a perfect day I'm glad I
spend it with you

219
00:24:40,161 --> 00:24:56,411
Oh, such a perfect day You just keep me
hanging on You just keep me hanging on

220
00:24:58,754 --> 00:25:08,030
Just a perfect day, problems all left
alone

221
00:25:08,031 --> 00:25:15,985
Weekenders on our own, it's such fun

222
00:25:17,673 --> 00:25:35,585
Just a perfect day, you made me forget
myself I thought I was someone else,
someone good

223
00:25:35,586 --> 00:25:47,289
Oh, it's such a perfect day I'm glad I
spent it with you

224
00:25:47,290 --> 00:26:02,212
Oh, such a perfect day You just keep me
hanging on You just keep me hanging on

225
00:26:16,424 --> 00:26:27,902
You're going to reap just what you sow

226
00:26:27,903 --> 00:26:36,943
You're going to reap just what you sow

227
00:26:37,453 --> 00:26:45,300
You're going to reap just what you sow

228
00:26:47,595 --> 00:26:56,654
You're going to reap just what you sow
