Παιχνίδια κρίκετ

October to December 2010, on the outskirts of Patras: two crews are harvesting olives. Lefteris, Giannis and Thodoros are unemployed Greeks; Alia, Ilir and Mathiula are unemployed migrants. The crews cross paths, compete and fight, and the quiet olive groves do not tame them. Every Sunday the migrants play cricket on an abandoned pitch, and the game is drawn into the rivalry, a threatening ball hanging over them all.
