ΤΟ ΔΕΝΤΡΟ ΠΟΥ ΠΛΗΓΩΝΑΜΕ (1986) {HD}.

"The Tree We Hurt" (Το Δέντρο Pou Πληγώναμε, 1986)* is a poignant Greek coming-of-age drama directed by Dimos Avdeliodis, newly restored in 2021 as part of the Hellenic Film Academy’s *Motherland: I See You* series. Set in a rural village, the film follows two young boys—Angelos, nicknamed "Mixas," and his best friend Anthos—as they navigate childhood friendships, schoolyard rebellions, and the harsh realities of growing up, from skipping classes to confronting village traditions like silk harvesting ("kénto"). With raw performances and nostalgic cinematography, the story captures their fleeting innocence against the backdrop of 1980s Greek countryside life, blending humor, heartbreak, and the quiet defiance of youth.
