Nowhere to Go

Three lives on the streets of Athens reveal a nation’s silent failure

Nowhere to Go is a powerful documentary that delves into the harsh reality of homelessness in modern Greece. Following the daily lives of three individuals living on the streets of Athens, filmmakers Spiridoula Gouskou and Lukas Agelastos shed light on a profound social crisis that continues to unfold in silence. While thousands of citizens endure life without shelter, the state turns away from its responsibility to protect and reintegrate its most vulnerable members, violating fundamental social and human rights.

Through intimate observation and empathetic storytelling, the film captures the resilience, isolation, and humanity of those forced to live without a home. Their stories expose a systemic failure that extends far beyond individual circumstances, questioning the moral and political structures of a society that allows its people to fall through the cracks.

Guided by a simple yet urgent belief—that housing is a universal right—Nowhere to Go examines not only the absence of support but also the possibilities for change. The directors invite viewers to confront what it truly means to have a home, to belong, and to recognise that everything begins with the roof over one’s head.
