Letters from Athens

This documentary tells the love story between the director's father, an assistant professor at the German Scientific Institute of Athens, and Nelly, a Fine Arts student. The Institute, funded by the occupying German forces, served as a refuge for students resisting the occupation.

Additionally, the film sheds light on Rudolf Fahrner, the Institute's founder, who was a comrade of the Stauffenberg Brothers and one of the few conspirators in the assassination attempt on Adolf Hitler in 1944 who survived the subsequent repression. The intertwining of personal and historical narratives creates a unique viewing experience that highlights resilience and love during turbulent times.
