Description
As the car runs towards the-then-international airport of Elliniko, we see shots from the buildings on Poseidonos Avenue and the smiling face of one of the passengers as a plane lands.

The car stops outside the airport and the family is greeted by a sign with huge letters that reads "Long Live April the 21st" also known as the dictatorship (junta) of the colonels. Olympic Airways staff help the passengers with their luggage and the filmmaker continues with shots from the airport’s parking lot where a Boeing 727-200 is waiting for its passengers.

Afterwards, we watch shots from the airplane’s passenger cabin where the flight attendant gives instructions and then the take-off of the plane. We watch the clouds and the terrain of the mountainous areas as the earth looks like a map through the window of the plane.

The film closes with the landing of the plane at London Heathrow Airport, and we see several planes in its parking lot.
