SYNOPSIS

Athens, April of 1967. During the first days of the military dictatorship, little Loukas is suffocating in his family’s apartment, which he is not allowed to leave. He then invents a new game that connects him to the outside world: answering the telephone. But the house’s phone line gets mixed up with that of the Studio cinema… Part comedy-drama, part historical chronicle, La Première Image is above all a political coming-of-age, a film about the power of the imagination and childhood in times of dictatorship.
