SPYROS LOUIS
This film is a tribute to the first modern Greek Olympic Winner. Spyros Louis is a saint of Hellenism who embodied the loftiest values of Greece. This film seeks to portray this poor farmer from Maroussi who “demonstrated” the full meaning and essence of “fair play” as conceived by the ancient Greeks.
The film endorses the ethos of the selfless marathon runner Spyros Louis who with his life and his victory became immortal, helping the Greeks regain their lost pride and teaching them to dream again.
