Once upon a time Elefsina...

 
Four students -Natalia Mantikou, Lazaros Panagiotidis, Konstantinos Ragios and Tsimpoukis Ioannis- made this video for their city with photos taken by themselves. The song is titled "Stin Elefsina mia fora", as performed by Manolis Mitsias.

The inspiration for creating this video was a poem that the student Ksenia Gikopoulou gave us.
