Directed by FTT Professor Anton Juan,"Guernica"is inspired by the true story of a tragedy that took place in 1997 when an Albanian ship carrying refugees suspiciously sunk off the Italian coast.Lymtsioulis explores the frustrated ambitions of three unquiet souls desperately floating amidst a watery medium of detritus.In the dark world lying somewhere between life and death, these psychic survivors contemplate the residues of their lost existence and mourn dreams that will go unrealized. Lyrical, yet direct,"Guernica"paints a surrealist portrait of the lamentable unrest faced by those who die wrongly at the hands of others.
