1968 is a 2018 historical-sports film directed by Tassos Boulmetis.
Plot
April 4th, 1968. The Panathenaic Stadium (then Olympic Stadium of Athens) is abuzz, with thousands of people gathered and millions listening through their radios. The FIBA European Cup Winners' Cup final between AEK B.C. – Slavia VŠ Praha has just begun and is attended by 80,000 spectators, the Guinness World Record attendance for a basketball event.
A girl in love is dreaming of her wedding day, while the future husband becomes more desperate with every Greek ball going through the hoop. An elderly husband and wife remember the home they left behind. A young communist prisoner cheers from his jail cell and a PROPO betting shop becomes the place where old and new wounds resurface.
Years before this night, three Constantinopolitans seeing Greek refugees from Constantinople arriving in Athens as part of the population exchange between Greece and Turkey following the Greco-Turkish War (1919–1922) decided to create an athletic union, eventually named AEK, that will tell their story. At the end of this night, Greek history will have changed forever.[1]
