A modern ruin in the form of a skyscraper, which has been empty the past 30 years in the middle of the Greek city of Piraeus, is in 'Off-History' turned into an object of archive-based research as to how the Greeks related to the country's political history, and to its ancient past. The tower was erected by the military junta, which led the country with an iron fist between 1967 and 1974, as a monument to Greece's economic and cultural progress. In an essayistic analysis of historical TV extracts, where the building appears, Selini Halvadaki draws parallels between identity and memory, while different people on the soundtrack share their dreams of a possible future.
