What happens

The Reconstruction (Greek: Αναπαράσταση, romanized: Anaparastasi) is a 1970 Greek dramatic black and white independent art film directed by Theo Angelopoulos. It is the director's first feature film. While based on true events, it transcends them to recall the ancient myths of the Atrides and Clytemnestra. In 1986, the Greek Film Critics Association named it the third-best Greek film in history.
