Durante cuatro años y medio, entre 2015 y 2019, el aclamado cineasta Yorgos Avgeropoulos observó a la sociedad griega en múltiples niveles. Además de tener acceso exclusivo al Primer Ministro Alexis Tsipras y al Ministro de Finanzas Yanis Varoufakis, siguió a otros, incluida una pareja de refugiados de Siria y una madre cuyo hijo fue asesinado por Golden Dawn. El resultado es una película única y con múltiples historias: una historia que evoluciona y se desarrolla con los personajes a lo largo del tiempo a medida que enfrentan decisiones difíciles, incluso para lograr parcialmente sus objetivos. Avgeropoulos es el único cineasta que tuvo acceso a la cámara detrás de escena durante las negociaciones entre el gobierno griego y sus acreedores en la dramática primera mitad de 2015.
