The ancient neighbourhood that once stood here, where the Acropolis Museum has been built, becomes the background of a film that tells how children in Athens lived during the Classical period. The very personal and short everyday stories of a group of children of the same age come to life. Some of the children are taught domestic work; some others go to school, whereas some of them work alongside their fathers. But mostly they daydream and look forward to that time of the day when they will all be together and play, putting aside their concerns.
