Don’t Rush (2020)

Overview

Three young men, two brothers and their cousin, meet on a dense summer night to feel the “high” of a dozen “Hasiklidika” songs, Rebetiko songs from the beginning of the 20th century which celebrate the effects of Hashish. But beyond the pleasures of drugs, it is here question of love, joy and sadness, search for freedom and political commitment – Little by little yesterday’s counter-culture, made out of poverty and violence, and built on the pains of exile, reverberates the one of today.
