<< «Οδυσσεας», ή αλλιώς το ταξίδι του ανθρώπου μέσα στο χώρο και το χρόνο, όπου ο καθένας αναζητά το σκοπό της ζωής του μέσα σε μια κοινωνία απρόσωπη, με την «Ιθάκη» να αποτελεί τα όνειρα και τις επιθυμίες του, τον τελικό προορισμό του ταξιδιού του!>>

The film is the audiovisual approach to the last thoughts of a now helpless ballerina to dance before being driven to suicide. It begins by asking the question between the existence or non-existence of its “freedom”, but she confirms of her non-existence.
Because of this, she finds that the expression of our freedom is the “movement” where is the perception of the mind about the mortality of the body.
Later, the ballerina wonders if her accident was an aesthetic result of the “rain” or was it an accident that destroyed her? On the occasion of the accident, while she is fainted, she sees some kind of a dream”. Where “a battle between good and evil is born.” Now she found herself in a situation that frightened her a lot, but also examined her by creating strong desires that go beyond our limits (e.g., suicide).
She later come to the conclusion that “An act of free will is the ‘dive’”. In other words, the ballerina is freed from her instinctive fears and transcends from a human into a swan. That is, she acquires the power to overcome the survival instinct and “fly or swim” or else to have to commit suicide.
Afterwards, we realize that all the shots are her thoughts that she formulates on a “torn page” (as we distinguish at the beginning of each part).
But finally, we see a “blank page” that gives us the feeling that there was never writing on it. So, she “transforms into a swan” to spread her wings by choosing to “dive” and not “fly”. The swan can do both, so the ballerina becomes a swan just without her wings.
