Rent Voyage to Cythera (1984)

Returning to Greece after years of exile in Russia, an old civil war fighter returns to his remote mountain village and struggles to re-acquaint himself with the family and country that he once knew. When he refuses to join the other villagers in selling his land to a developer, thwarting plans to turn the area into a ski resort, he is ostracized. The furor draws the attention of the authorities and, when the old man is unable to prove his Greek citizenship, they move to deport him. Theo Angelopoulos' poetic and moving film examines the enduring social and political issues that have rocked Greece since the Second World War.
