A city is a sum of lives. A life is a collection of stories. Therefore a city is made up of stories, many stories. So we created a portrait of Marseilles and of its Greek community through telling stories. Life stories. Symbolic stories, having to do with identity and search for identity. “Extreme” stories, because their protagonists went to the end of this search. Exemplary stories, for that reason. Very personal stories and consequently universal ones too. Yetou/Henriette, Stavros/Gustave, Nicolas, Amphilochios/Frederic… Two names, two identities. French of Greek descent who live in Marseilles where their parents or ancestors landed one day like the Phocaeans who founded the city 2600 years ago. The earliest arrivals were wealthy merchants who came from Chios or Constantinopole in the 19th century. The most recent came from Asia Minor or the Dodecanese in the early 20th century, often with empty pockets. Men and women with a dual identity that intrigues them, they each have their own answer to give. Some even dare to attempt a “return”. But they all have an unshakeable assurance: their history, the family epos that reconciles them with themselves, with their roots. Yetou, our heroine, helps us collect these stories, leading us from one person to another. Her own story is the emblem of all the others. For, like Marseilles is to Greece, she too is a distant daughter… [In Greek and French, with Greek subtitles]
