Clean Monday. Panos, now an adult, returns to a childhood ritual: flying a kite with his father, a tradition that marks the beginning of Lent in Greece. But memories are never simple. Sounds and images—fragments of the past—intertwine to reconstruct their bond. A documentary about the fragile father–son relationship and the uneasy power of memory.

Kite was born from a temporal dissonance: my parents are entering old age and becoming grandparents, while I am becoming a parent. This overlap unsettled my sense of lineage and identity—not through dramatic events, but through subtle shifts: looks, silences, gestures suspended in time. Rather than explaining this transition, the film tries to inhabit it. It steps away from certainty to make room for ambiguity, and treats memory not as a sequence of facts but as a porous territory shaped by absence and emotional resonance. A conversation with writer Panos Tsiros about dreams as echoes of the unconscious offered a way to approach this inner landscape without naming it too precisely. The film is an attempt to work with lived experience through images, sounds and small everyday moments. More than reconstructing events, I wanted to create a space where the father–son relationship could exist indirectly, through fragments and sensations. I am interested in how the past returns not as story, but as feeling: incomplete, open, shared. Kite is my attempt to stay close to that process without defining it.
