Pillow - work in progress
In his directorial debut, Konstantinos Kakoyannis explores the concept of using culture as a convenient ?pillow?, shielding ourselves from everything we find asphyxiating, irrespective of whether we have the possibility or the innermost desire to avoid it.
Three friends are camping in the countryside, far removed from civilization. They want to forget about everything, they want to dream and have a good time. They discuss conformism and culture, politics, violence and the human condition, seeking answers to the eternal questions: what are we, what is our fate as individuals and as part of a larger entity?
Each of the three friends carries his pillow with them, while the addition of three girls only serves to complicate things. Criticism of mainstream culture reverts to criticism of subculture. Is turning their back on civilization enough to bring these six closer people?
