The production of this movie started in Thessaloniki in 1966. This film, or documentary, was possibly made to promote The Forminx outside Greece. But this film never came to a release. The first director, Theo Angelopoulos, took his hands off the production due to problems between him and the production team. The second director took up the work, but before the film could have been finished, The Forminx split up. It is not known if the film was a real feature movie or an extended clip.
