Confined in a small room on the eighth floor of a half-abandoned building, Jamal searches for the words that would solve the labyrinth of life and existence. The voices of his North African friends, imprisoned in detention centres, come from the mountains around the metropolis of Athens. The directors walk with Jamal among the debris of his memories, exploring the power of words and writing, desiring to let marginal voices move outside.

Born in Thessaloniki, Lefteris Panagiotou lives and works between Athens and Brussels. After studying physics and astrophysics, he completed his training in filmmaking in Greece at the "Interior Landscapes" laboratory. Since 2018, his work has been focused on documentary filmmaking. As in the film Je suis dehors and also in the feature film Asphaltos that he is currently directing, his desire is to open up an interior space as an infinite place where we can walk against the tide of dominant one-way narratives.     

Born in Athens, Nina Alexandraki studied philosophy and cinema at INSAS (Brussels). In a constant dialogue with literature, which she also writes in her filmmaking, she seeks to compose mental spaces, to capture experience in its intimacy.
