A legendary live recording. On January of 1991, George Dalaras (Γιώργος Νταλάρας) and Vassilis Papakonstantinou (Βασίλης Παπακωνσταντίνου), two top greek singers have decided to give a series of live performances together at Attikon, a cetral theatre in Athens. In their multi-year (more than 40 each) careers, this is the only time they performed together. A live recording that is considered as a masterpiece of the whole greek discography. Enjoy wonderful greek music and nice scans of the included booklet.

In the second, a French family calls a private tribunal, as the children challenge their parents on the issues of Liberty, Equality and Fraternity while the media watches from outside. And finally, Godard and his crew visit six different places – Barcelona, Egypt, Naples Odessa, Palestine and "Hellas" (the latter could be Greece or France) as he confronts issues of truth versus myth and where the global community is headed….
