What happens
What did you do in the war, Thanasis? (Greek: Τι έκανες στον πόλεμο, Θανάση;, romanized: Ti ekanes ston polemo, Thanasi?) is a 1971 Greek satirical drama film. It starred Thanasis Veggos as Thanasis, a poor labourer trying to survive during the Axis occupation of Greece. With references to the Great Famine (Greece) and the Greek resistance, the film was also a political allegory for the Greek military junta of 1967–1974. It won the Best Film Award at the Thessaloniki International Film Festival. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
