Summary:

The cities we live in are living organisms. At some point the inevitable happens and the cities die. Is it too late for rebirth? Do we realize it in time, or do we continue to stunt on the corpse of a past glory? Titika and Thodoris share their thoughts and comment on the current state of the city they spent most of their lives: Thessaloniki.
