Filmed on location in Ancient Olympia and the Palace of Nestor, Greece.
A childhood memory of Barbapapa, a pink shapeshifting cartoon character, unravels into a meditation on language, memory, and the materiality of history. From Roman inscriptions to Ancient Greek paintings, the film traces how stories endure—or dissolve—over time.
