Andi

SOUND RECORDIST / SOUND DESIGNER

SUMMARY - Andi Ngjela, who was baptised as Nikos Gelia when he came to Greece, is very different today from the days of his childhood in Albania. He is considered one of the most talented actors of his generation, who starred in the film "Xenia" by Panos Koutras, one of the most important films of modern Greek cinema. The story of Nikos, the boy once called Andi, is identical to the stories of all those people who, due to their circumstances, were forced to grow up without a sense of "national identity.” The documentary questions whether our "identity" is something to be attributed to us or whether it is something we build for ourselves. We followed Nikos on a trip back to Albania, where he faces his past and his roots and for a while becomes Andi again.
