Already unlocked? for access

Abandonment (noun): the act of leaving someone or something, or of ending or stopping something, usually forever

Αs it is mentioned in the dictionary, a place is considered abandoned when it is nothing more than an amorphous mass of architectural ruins and it exists only in the memory of very few, usually elderly people. Through the case of Fikardou, this documentary outlines the declining course of the village, as well as the actions taken to avoid its total abandonment. Meanwhile, we are raising the viewer’s critical thinking regarding urbanism, people’s involvement, legislation and also “what is to come” in the following years. But in the end, was the village of Fikardou ever abandoned?
