The documentary takes us on a journey to the historic village of Theriso in Crete, where the natural landscape, legends and traditions are deeply intertwined with the lives of its inhabitants. From the struggles for freedom to the memories and daily customs of the villagers, the village emerges as a living symbol of collective memory. Where memory soars, freedom grows deep roots.

Long-distance runner Giorgos Stamoulis greets us with “Karibu”—meaning “Welcome” in Swahili, the language of Kenya! The documentary "KARIBU: Giorgos Stamoulis" follows him to Iten, Kenya, where he trains alongside some of the world’s top athletes.The film invites us into the dream of an athlete striving for distinction, while also unveiling Kenyan culture and the network of people supporting him along the way.With the Swahili welcome "Karibu," Giorgos invites us on his own journey, navigating between his studies in the Department of Physiotherapy at the University of Thessaly in Lamia, his training sessions with Panellinios Gymnastics Association in Athens, and his training in Iten, at an altitude of about 2,500 meters in north-central Kenya, where Olympic and World Champions train. The distance between everyday life and the dream is bridged through the support of a "chain" of people—family, coaches, professors, friends and fellow athletes, who stand by him every step of the way.From Lamia to Athens, and from there to the mountains of Kenya and Evrytania, "KARIBU: Giorgos Stamoulis" is not a journey into the "industry" of sports, but into the personal journey of a young man fighting to make his dream a reality.Karibu! Welcome to his pursuit of a dream!

KARIBU: Giorgos Stamoulis

After the directors' mother's death, he returns to his empty childhood apartment to handle a troubled inheritance. As he navigates its spaces, fragments of memories resurface, entwining the past with the Greek Junta's collective trauma.

Somewhere between realism and magic, ordinary people long for the miracle. They instinctively dive into acts of redemption and pursue a moment of freedom so addictive, that they want to experience it again and again. It is this moment of ecstasy that they cease thinking and simply live! An ecstatic experience of Greek paganism, struggling against modern conformity.
