Athens, April of 1967. During the first days of the military dictatorship, little Loukas is suffocating in his family’s apartment, which he is not allowed to leave. He then invents a new game that connects him to the outside world: answering the telephone. But the house’s phone line gets mixed up with that of the Studio cinema…
Part comedy-drama, part historical chronicle, La Première Image is a political coming-of-age, a film about the power of the imagination and childhood in times of dictatorship.
