A Song for Argyris (F) (DVD)

A l’âge de quatre ans, Argyris Sfountouris a survécu en 1944 un massacre brutal perpétré par les forces occupantes allemandes; il a perdu alors ses parents et 30 membres de sa famille; cet orphelin grec est venu en Suisse, accueilli au village Pestalozzi pour enfants et il a suivi ses études à l’EPF de Zurich. Charmant et empreint d’une sérénité mélancolique, il s’est débattu, pendant toute sa vie, avec cette folie qui lui est tombé dessus lorsqu’il était enfant. In Distomo a small farming village in Greece, little Argyris survived what most other inhabitants of his native village did not. Within a few hours, he lost his parents and thirty more relatives in a brutal massacre commited by the German occupying forces. The monstrosity of war. A SONG FOR ARGYRIS is an intimate, reflective film about how to deal with personal grief – and about the inability of dealing with the issue of historical guilt. A film about the search for peace and the almost insurmountable difficulties linked to true reconciliation – an open-ended journey.
