Extreme hidden camera comedy at its finest. Six unsuspecting Men and Women think they are there to experience Greece at its finest but they are very wrong. They think they are making a pleasant documentary on sailing but take part in one of the most interesting and bizarre human experiments ever captured on tape. Whilst on a tour of the islands the motley team of documentary makers chance on Brigitte Nielsen the movie-star, on holiday. After several carefully orchestrated mishaps, Brigitte falls in love with one of the Volunteers. Brigitte is murdered by drug traffickers, and the Volunteers quickly find themselves with blood on their hands! After a series of even more bizarre events, they all end up in a Greek jail where they are filmed whilst under interrogation. A prison break ensues, followed by the big reveal.

Four episodes, four instances from a man’s life covering 25 years, from 1965 in Germany to 1990 in Athens. The episodes seem to be irrelevant to one another, yet they all focus on male powerplay, reveal the self-consciousness and moderation of the protagonist’s idiosyncrasy and depict some special aspects of the Greek male mentality. Probably Nikos Panayotopoulos’ most personal film, covering a substantial period of his generation’s years, “I’m dreaming of my friends” is based on the book by Dimitris Nollas, looks a lot like a “road movie” and features an all-male cast, as if there’s no room for women in it.
Alexandre the Reporter
Телерепортёр находит в лагере беженцев пропавшего греческого политика. Вернувшись в Афины, журналист просит его жену (Жанна Моро) поехать с ним в этот лагерь, чтобы отпали все сомнения... На стиль позднего Ангелопулоса в определенной мере повлиял итальянский сценарист и поэт Тонино Гуэрра. Возврат к политической проблематике охваченной новыми раздорами Европы в лентах «Прерванный шаг аиста» и «Взгляд Улисса» придает им некоторую декларативность. Хотя в них неизменно есть яркие поэтические сцены; в “Прерванном шаге аиста” запоминается финальный пейзаж, на котором камера щедро надолго останавливается: герой, снятый издали, одиноко бредет по пустырю, уставленному множеством телеграфных столбов, на верхушках которых работают, копошатся монтажники-высотники, все в одинаковых робах.
