Night, national road. Two strangers meet for the first time at an old gas station. One has stopped to gas up his bike, while the other is just stranded. Lacking the 22.50€ he needs to get home, he will try to sell him the distance that separates them from the sky.

“To Vancouver” is a short chronicle of a disappearing act in the times of the new Depression.
DiRECTOR’S STATEMENT
Vicky uses this magic spell to make coins appear and disappear. She ultimately uses it with the hope to control the fate of her beloved sibling, before he goes away.
“To Vancouver” explores the theme of loss due to poverty, unemployment and immigration through a child’s perspective. Connecting the local folklore and mythological monsters with you tube magic tricks and the current de-industrialization of Greece, this film stays faithful to a neorealist approach while looking at the world like a kid does: with curiosity, fantasy and hope.

Arbi, 24, is raised in Athens. After the events on the night of the Serbia-Albania football match, Arbi will have to decide whether to attend the wedding of his relatives, whether to claim the girl he likes, whether he is Albanian or Greek.
