Felicita
Konstantinos Kavourakis wanted to become a policeman, he wanted to live forever in love with his Eleni and their three children, he wanted to be respected... One day, when anger will make him once again paranoid, he will face the resistance of his eldest son, he will feel expelled from his home, and from Sepolia he will find himself homeless in the center of Athens. He faces the difficulties and dangers of his new condition, looks back on his life and finds support and kindness from other outcasts. And if this is not happiness, at least Felicita, a black and white cat who frequents the area around Agia Irini Square, warms his heart. The members of his family, however, each have their own version of the past, the present and what is to come. Five persons - each with their own burdens, concerns and sufferings - want to tell their own story, the short story of their own story, intertwined with the novel of family life. Confessional, bittersweet, instantly tender, a novel like a fleeting caress to the people who silently break beside us.
