HOW TO SHOOT A GHOST
Two newly-dead ghosts walk the streets of Athens, among the pulsing cityscape and the ghosts of history. They were outsiders in life: he, a queer Lebanese translator; she a half-Irish photographer. They wander the city together, finding consolation in the difficult beauty of life and its aftermath.
