“Hope is a waking dream.” -Aristotle Under the spattering of August stars, a 500 ml glass Coke in hand and the latest silver screen film rolling at 24 frames per second, Takis felt alive, limitless, and transcendent. Ciné Lux, Argos’ open-air cinema, was the one place Takis wasn’t a villager. He was an Al Pacino gangster, a Clint Eastwood outlaw, a Humphrey Bogart lover, and a Bruce Lee Kung Fu master.  He’d do whatever he could to save up a few drachmae for the next release.
