Educate Yourself My Son

A primary school teacher in a Greek village confronts the absurdities lingering after the fall of the military junta. Her earnest attempts to teach children to read and write devolve into a sharp satire, where the ghosts of dictatorship clash with religious dogma and entrenched family traditions. The education system, meant to enlighten, is itself a bastion of hypocrisy and rigid doctrine. Each lesson becomes a struggle for reason in a society where newfound freedoms immediately collide with ancient walls of ignorance. She stands as a lone quixotic figure, jousting with the windmills of bureaucracy and popular superstition.
