The Horsemen of Pylos (2011)

Ο Τηλέμαχος, ηθοποιός με ένδοξο παρελθόν και αβέβαιο μέλλον, εγκαταλείπει στα πενήντα του την Αθήνα για να γλυτώσει από τις τράπεζες. Με την βοήθεια του Μπάμπη του «Φου», βρίσκει καταφύγιο σ'ένα ερημωμένο κάστρο στην καρδιά της Μεσσηνίας. Μοναδικοί κάτοικοι δύο αδέρφια που δε μιλιούνται και μια ανηψιά που τους βαρέθηκε κι έφυγε, η Δημοκρατία. Ο Τηλέμαχος την συναντάει τυχαία και μαγεύεται. Λίγο τα σιρόπια του γιατρού για τα πνευμόνια του που έχουν γίνει ορυχείο, λίγο τα τσίπουρα, λίγο οι «απαγορευμένες ουσίες» του Μπάμπη ... οι θεοί βάζουν το χέρι τους κι η Δημοκρατία επιστρέφει στον τόπο της! Όνειρο, πραγματικότητα, ή και τα δυό? Κρίνετέ το εσείς, κι όποιος το βρει κερδίζει ένα παστέλι Καλαμών.

The Arrival of a Train at La Ciotat

A group of people are standing along the platform of a railway station in La Ciotat, waiting for a train. One is seen coming, at some distance, and eventually stops at the platform. Doors of the railway-cars open and attendants help passengers off and on. Popular legend has it that, when this film was shown, the first-night audience fled the café in terror, fearing being run over by the "approaching" train. This legend has since been identified as promotional embellishment, though there is evidence to suggest that people were astounded at the capabilities of the Lumières' cinématographe.
