The shocking story of the day laborer Panikos Oikonomou who in a few minutes saw the absolute happiness popping like a balloon and flying high, leaving innocent children's eyes to look for it looking at the sky… comes in the documentary-show "24 HOURS" of ALPHA Cyprus in Saturday, January 26 at 21.15.
A birth, a death and a rare illness knock on the door of a family man from Paralimni who tries to manage the various emotions that flood his heart and soul and support the five orphans from his mother and children. When the fight against poverty is a familiar struggle from which he always emerged victorious and even from his student years where he had to work to support his mother, then today what can frighten this man? Absolutely nothing and that seems and from the three different and honest jobs he does in order to be able to support his family.
Journalist Konstantinos Konstantinou and his team bring to the fore a tragic paternal figure, talk to him, walk the steps he took with his wife Jenny and record his daily life in a house that is literally filled with childhood appearances, innocent looks , but also sad faces who have not yet overcome the loss of their mother. How do his children experience the loss of their mother and how did the local community of Paralimni react to the slaps that Panikos received?
The team of the show "24 HOURS", directed by George Daoulis, is preparing to give answers to many questions, approaching with respect and humanity a special story, behind which there is not only mourning, but also a Golgotha of unspeakable pain.
The youngest child of the family, Dimitra, only 1,5 years old, almost immediately after her birth was diagnosed with a rare disease and gives her own battle every day at the Pediatric Oncology Department of Makareio Hospital. Every smile is accompanied by dumb sorrow, every sigh brings with it an unanswered "why", but Panikos - as a genuine and worthy fighter - does not give up, although he will never be able to forget the last words of his wife who asked him , via text message on his cell phone, to watch their children if she herself gets something bad…
