The story of the legendary composer of rebetiko and laiko music, Vangelis Papazoglou. During a time of hunger, poverty, war, and betrayal, when darkness fell over the land, he abandoned his beloved bouzouki and took to the streets with a cart, becoming a junk dealer. “I don’t play bouzouki for the occupiers and their collaborators,” he said. He died in hardship at the age of 47, but his work keeps him alive and relevant… forever. Immortal!
