‘Burning from the inside’ is a socio-political documentary, coming out from the streets of Athens and Berlin. Using the rise of the neo-Nazi party Golden Dawn as the main axis, it exposes the fascist structures and the social disintegration witch invaded Greece, from the perspective of the Greek immigrants in Germany. Giving their own fight against the Nazi outburst, the Greeks collaborate with Germans, and try to create a ‘voice’ which speaks about the constant violations of human rights in Greece, as well as the role of Germany as the ‘queen of Europe’. By juxtaposing the events in the two countries, the film imposes questions on the functionality of democracy in the country that gave birth to it, and ‘universalizes’ the Nazi problem. At the same time, it focuses on the amazing power that the people can assume when united, and unfolds the reasons which made Greece a country burning from the inside.

Six Greek immigrants, all members of an amateur theatre group stage Brecht’s “Fear and Misery in the Third Reich” in Berlin. Working on the play gives them a first insight into the reality of persecution in Germany during World War II. The film follows them after their last appearance, as they visit a hospital that used to be a mental institution during the Nazi regime. Full of historical references, the place gives them the opportunity to explore the past in a way they never had as actors.
