Summary:

George was born in Athens. When he was 4 years old, he saw for the first time in his life a Karagiozis performance. It was unforgettable to him. When he was 5 years old, his parents, who are bank employees, because of work, moved from Greece to Switzerland. When he was 10 years old, his father made him his first berdeaux, so he started playing Karagiozis for his friends in Switzerland.
He is now 13 years old and lives in Nyon. It performs in English and French, in schools and theatres in Nyon. But George's big dream is to play in Crete, in Greek.
The life and dreams of the little puppeteer in Switzerland, between two cultures, between two homelands.
