“Lachtara-Longing” is a drama in the convention of a road movie telling about the problems of a modern family, broken by cultural differences and migration. A Greek father and his son from Poland (half-Grek), both at a turning point in their lives, meet after years in Athens to share a family apartment in Wałbrzych after the death of his ex-wife and mother. Forced by circumstances and full of mutual reproaches, they make a joint journey in an old Polonez to Poland, following the footsteps of the escape of the Greeks from the civil war in 1949. During the dramatic journey, with Syrian refugees in the background, they attempt to make up for lost time and get to know each other anew. For the son, it’s a belated lesson in male courage and the history of the emergence of Greek emigrants in Poland, for the father – in responsibility and humility.
