There are many self references to the director's other films, great modern greek poets, balkan history, and ancient greek thought and literature. The more you know the more you get out. I had some knowledge of some of these areas but the film moved me to read three modern greek poets and a book about the other films of this director. I have to be satisfied with the book because I can't seem to find the videos.
