Exploring the vibrant underground Greek music scene of the 1980s, this documentary delves into the Minimal Synth and Synthpunk subculture. Beginning with bands like Choris Perideraio and Anti, and featuring acts such as Human Puppets, Regressverbot, In Trance 95, Alive She Died, Selofan, and Doric, the film chronicles how new wave and punk aesthetics were channeled through synthesizers and rhythm boxes. It's a portrait of a unique musical movement that resonated deeply with those who embraced the 'machines'.
