Kapodistrias is a historical film set in the early 19th century and tells the true story of Greece’s greatest politician and first Governor, Ioannis Kapodistrias, after the country’s liberation from the Ottoman Empire.
With courage, kindness, and dignity, he defends every person’s freedom, sacrificing even the great love of his life, and does not hesitate to confront the forces of evil—giving up wealth, glory, and international recognition.
When Greece gains its freedom, Kapodistrias is called to assume office as its first Governor. Although he senses he will be assassinated, he accepts his fate without complaint and sacrifices himself, serving his homeland with faith and devotion. This sacrifice leads him to true freedom.
Directed and produced by internationally acclaimed filmmaker Yannis Smaragdis.
