Colors & Shadows is a documentary short that explores the distortion of memory in old age. Using footage from both his past and present, the film follows a man as he retraces the important moments of his life. As he enters his final chapter, it becomes clear that the man can no longer separate reality from what he has dreamed; blurring the line between memory and imagination.

An integral part of Greek folklore, Manolis Glezos is best known as the man who tore the swastika flag from the Acropolis in 1941. With the country knee-deep in a crushing financial crisis, Glezos is back in the limelight, elected as the oldest member of the European Parliament in 2014 at the age of 92. Yet, he won’t even discuss “the flag incident,” refusing to be pigeonholed and confined to the past.
