What are you doing

with the rocks?

They'll be looking for you.

They can't find you here.

My stupid son got him

all worked up.

What have I done, god,

and you punish me like this?

He's somewhere around here.

He probably went

to get some fresh air.

You shouldn't blame Panago.

And you shouldn't

get him worked up.

I work him up? You send him

to English and piano class.

When you have kids of your own,

raise them as you wish.

I didn't propose yet

for your sake.

And never propose to her.

I'm not helping

in the next election.

You'll help until we win.

I helped in '58, in '61.

Last time.

Afterwards, I'll propose.

They'll never

give you her hand.

Brother, if they don't,

I'll steal her.

Do you think

they stole the boy?

What are you saying?

You're thinking like they do.

Why don't you speak Greek?

My father came here

to be a politician.

Go back to the votes.

I'm protecting the hedgehogs.

They go by here to drink water.

With this, they'll return

through the fields...

...without going on the road,

where my father crushes them.

- And go cra-cra...

- like democra-cra-cy.

Shout it out loud!

The whole village should know!

You'll find him.

He's no needle in a haystack.

- They certainly stole him.

- They did not.

Either way, go out there,

and tell the people.

We're leaving, Panagaki.

You can't fool us any longer.

He's not here.

They stole him.

They did this to us.

Now they're doing it to you?

And what will you be

when you grow up?

You?

I'll be a poet, a real one,

not a rhyming coupleteer.

You?

You, not your father.

Think of one thing you like.

It's from America, right?

Run, villagers!

They stole the boy,

the Chief's son!

Bring your guns, if you don't

have any, find some!

These people are enough.

How far can the boy have gone?

I'm not turning them out for

the boy, but for the votes.

We'll get our 150 votes,

come hell or high water.

- They stole the boy?

- He vanished into thin air.

Why does the outlaw State

meddle in our affairs?

Let's show them our strength!

We're doing good.

You're incredible...

democracy is our top priority!

Listen, villagers!

You go above the stream.

You take the higher road,

we'll circle the mountain.

We'll take the road,

in the cars.

Don't leave a stone unturned!

We must sweep the whole place!

Road above, road below, goats!

It's always like that.

Everyone wants something else.

There's only one thing

that everyone likes: Couplets.

I'm a minority.

Eat, you!

And listen to our Chief's words!

The fields belong to you, and

Greece belongs to its people!

Have you seen the son?

He ran like the devil

was chasing him. Like crazy!

Where did he go?
