SYNOPSIS

In an isolated village, without a teacher, children cope with boredom and loneliness by casting shadows with their hands and scaring the villagers, taking advantage of their fear of shadows, which remind them of the Kalikatzarous, the dark creatures of Greek folk tradition.

The only link with the outside world is the Postman, who takes advantage of the villagers’ idleness and preserves their fear, wanting to keep the village cut off from civilization, for his own benefit.

The unexpected arrival of a new teacher, who uses shadow theatre as a teaching method, and as a means of expressing emotions, shows the children that shadow theatre has another dimension apart from entertainment.
The curse put on the villagers, to live in fear and not to be able to laugh and dance joyfully is broken by the shadow theatre play created by the children.
However, in the end, the mystery of the Kalikatzarous remains, giving all of us the opportunity to interpret them in our own way.
