The walk through the financially battered city of Athens, destination unknown, is a bittersweet confrontation with the Greek economic crisis.

The walk through the financially battered city of Athens, destination unknown, is a bittersweet confrontation with the Greek economic crisis.


For Marissa, a single mother living in a run-down apartment in downtown Athens, there is nothing more lovely than watching her 5-year-old daughter Nina eat. For the unemployed and exhausted Marissa, it is becoming increasingly difficult to keep hope alive.


"The film seeks to humanize the crisis, go beyond the numbers and press, and metaphorically show what is truly being lost." (fracturedatlas.org) "VOLTA is the story of a heartbreakingly tender walk through Athens." (cineuropa.org)


Director Stella Kyriakopoulos graduated from the renowned NYU Tisch School for the Arts.
