    • Synopsis
    • An integral part of Greek folklore, Manolis Glezos tore the swastika flag from the Acropolis during the Nazi invasion in 1941. With the country knee-deep in a crushing financial crisis, Glezos is elected as the oldest member of the EU Parliament in 2014, at the age of 92. Yet he won’t even discuss “the flag incident” refusing to be pigeonholed as a one-hit-wonder. Scolding, lecturing and joking along the way, the filmmakers uncover the man behind the myth.
