What Is Arpa Colla About?
The premise of Arpa Colla without spoilers.
The title ‘Arpa‑colla’ means “grab and stick”, a Greek phrase for something done hastily and poorly. It fits the two protagonists—a director, Giorgos, and a communist‑leaning author, Kostas, a festival prize‑winner—who both dream of making a film. Each time they pitch an idea—political cinema, a historic Greek drama, or a biker‑gang thriller—they are swayed by new acquaintances and abandon the plan. The comedy marks an early‑80s revival of Greek cinema after the 1970s lull.
