A letter in the mailbox; an invitation to submit a film to the International Meeting of Archaeological Film AGON.
Archaeological Film?
A young woman begins her research in wintry Berlin. Following the idea of “agon” (doing everything as a contest), she comes across different “Greek aspects”, although nothing seems to be particularly helpful. Finally, she meets a Greek colleague Rosa, who obviously has already found her excavation site. But is the contest between the two girls actually what we mean by “agon”? What they finally discover is at least a very interesting idea for an archaeological film, in which aspects of mythology, archaeology and the cinema become one.
