\nIt is his existential search around the world to implementing the ideas of Christ and Buddha in real life; and through his hero Odysseus he realizes his philosophy of the Cretan Glance: \u201cLife is a bumpy road and one must walk it with dignity and bravery.\u201d
\nStaying true to his values, he faces his persecutors with self-control and dignity, and completes his work, which is to cherish man\u2019s freedom, the values of life and the Greek Light.
\nThe life of Nikos Kazantzakis is a story of love, faith and strength of one author who survived the adversities and cruelties of his time, making his life\u2019s work live through the ages.
\nNikos Kazantzakis\u2019 creative achievements inspire today and positively enhance the future.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner el_class=”afilm-extra-description-movie”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]PRODUCTION:<\/strong> ALEXANDROS FILM Co.

The film begins with a dream he had a little before he died, a nightmare which ends with the appearance of Domenicos Theotokopoulos (El Greco). The film ends with a liberating dream full of light. Following his dreams, Kazantzakis starts writing the chapters of his autobiography “Report to Greco” with the support of his intuitive companion Eleni. All these chapters will be brought to life in a flashback, as a continuous journey to the places he visited in his lifetime: Mount Athos, Mount Sinai, Paris, Vienna, Berlin, Moscow, Antibes and Beijing and at the same time, representing the “spiritual” path of the author who keeps searching, wanting to understand Christ, the Buddha, Nietzsche, Lenin, and his ancestor Odysseus and the big womb which is represented by the Aegean Sea and the Greek Light. Armed with the consciousness of his surroundings and his spirituality, he completes his \u201cpath\u201d with the “Cretan glance” that eventually leads him towards freedom by defying death. Through this long journey of the soul towards freedom and after facing many difficulties and adventures, Nikos Kazantzakis succeeds in creating his universal work. This great work is the pillar of the Greek spirit today and during these difficult times we are going through, it can succeed in comforting and consoling the tormented souls of future viewers.<\/p>\n
