Berliner Premiere: 45 m²

In cooperation with the Greek Cultural Foundation, we present the Berlin premiere of 45 m² (Greece 2010) in the presence of filmmaker Stratos Tzitzis. "One who gives up has already lost." Christina is a fighter. She won't accept her situation: As a saleswoman in a posh district of Athens, she only earns the minimum wage and therefore still lives with her mother. Despite lacking money, she rents her own small apartment in a part of town inhabited by migrants to find out what she really wants from life. She gives up her old habits, can no longer relate to her friends and unpacks the cardboard boxes of the former tenant. In them, she finds the support she needs. Along the coordinates of rich or poor, Greek or migrant, venal or full of integrity, 45 m² gives an account of both individual liberation and the current situation in Greece during the financial crisis.
