Ellinikon by Konstantinos Prepis

Sotiris is homeless, a victim of the economic crisis, and has found refuge at the abandoned Elliniko airport. He has been living there lately, among ghosts and memories of a not so distant past. Suddenly, one day, Sotiris watches the airport being flooded with potential passengers who disrupt his daily life and, of course, cannot travel (as the airport is abandoned). Sotiris tries to understand the absurdity he is experiencing, and then tries to explain to the passengers that what they are there for is impossible and completely irrational.

Inevitably, at some point, and after his efforts hit against the conviction of the stubborn crowd, he falls out with them and manages to trick them out of the airport. Left alone in the newly vacated departure hall, he finds a dropped ticket on the floor and decides to follow the hypothetical course of his potential owner. Following an imaginary route, he arrives at a ghost plane with an unknown destination, only to reappear in a parallel reality, where he is apparently famous but retains all those features that led him to the margins of life.
