"Carbon" (Original title: "Καρμπόν") speaks allegorically but also with humour about the heroic exit from the mediocrity of everyday life.

Aris Kondos, a timid, introverted anti-hero, is suddenly endowed with acute hearing; a rare charisma that enables him to capture sounds from neighboring flats as well as noises from the city. The incidents are escalating and while initially annoyed by the pandemonium, he finally manages to use sounds for his benefit. The echoes from the penthouse upstairs are tempting. A deviating journey in the kingdom of sounds begins. Aris becomes addicted to eavesdropping and imitates the life of the painter Philippos Rhodopoulos. The hero sets up sound-traps and pulls sound-strings wishing to realize his secret dream: to conquer the peaks of Art. But, is he heading into elevation or into free fall?
