Andreas Nomikos
Biography
Andreas Nomikos (Lemnos, 1937 – Athens, November 6, 2021) better known as Fterou was an outdoor hawker in Athens. He was selling feathers for dusting and called out in a small voice "wings... and feathers". It has been a picturesque feature of Athens for more than 50 years, from the 60s until today, and the expression "wings... and feathers" has remained a classic. He used a soft voice and pretense to advertise his business. It is reported that many believed that his approach was a sham, intended to attract attention. He passed away at the age of 84 on November 6, 2021

Movie - 1982, 2h 15m • Main Cast Role
"Arpa-colla" in Greek literally means "Grab and stick", a phrase used to show something that has been done quickly and therefore isn't good enough. This is what the 2 main heroes of the film are doing. The one is a director(Giorgos) and the other an author(Kostas) with communistic ideas, who has won a prize at a festival. They both want to make a movie for the cinema. But every idea they have never comes true, because every time they meet someone to whom they tell their idea, they change their mind, and they want to make a totally different movie, ideas varying from political cinema to Greek historical dramas and modern films with motorcycle gangs. Not a bad attempt for the Greek cinema of the early 80's, which starts to wake up from the hibernation of the 70's.
