Storyline

The settlement of Dendropotamos, the gypsy settlement, is located to the west of Thessaloniki, on the outskirts of the city. It is surrounded by expressways, flyovers, the train tracks, the KTEL station, the abandoned camps. All "invisible" and degraded, the city's largest river underground, the lives of the residents and the environment together. Every day, thousands of cars pass over the torrent ignoring it. Despite the adversities, in the ghetto of Dendropotamos, the Lighthouse of the World (Minor Protection Center), the Second Chance School, the Women's Association of Dendropotamos, proud people resist and hope for a better future.
