A glimpse of life in a place which, as numerous others in Greece and across Europe, has severely been affected by several socio-political changes over the last decade; mass movements of populations, economic crisis, young people fleeing abroad, are some of them. Kavala is also a town through which refugees have been passing on their way to Northern Europe. The evolving social structures have made the town feel to some of its residents as prison - a home in decline - while to others it is their escape route - a temporary paradise. An ageing local community juxtaposed with a young refugee family residing in the town because of a distant war. While silently contemplating on the past and patiently waiting for the future to come, they are all living a normal, seemingly quiet life.</p>}, number={02}, journal={Journal of Anthropological Films}, author={Giapoutzis, Tasos and Kleftakis, Marios}, year={2019}, month={Oct.}, pages={e2792} }
