# Learn How to Read and Write, Son

Learn How to Read and Write, Son (Greek: Μάθε παιδί μου γράμματα, romanized: Mathe paidi mou grammata) is a 1981 Greek drama/comedy film directed by Thodoros Maragos and starring Vasilis Diamantopoulos, Nikos Kalogeropoulos, Kostas Tsakonas and Anna Mantzourani.

## Plot

The story is set in a mountain village in Arcadia (the movie was filmed in Stemnitsa, Dimitsana and the surrounding areas) shortly after the Metapolitefsi (the fall of the military junta of 1967–74). The unveiling of a monument to those who died during the Occupation (World War II) stirs up the village, because the name of a communist partisan who was killed was omitted. Periklis (V. Diamantopoulos), a conservative high school teacher, comes to clash with his wife and his two sons over whether Chrysanthi and her family have a right to put a wreath in memory of the partisan.

## Awards

The film won three awards at the 1981 Thessaloniki Film Festival:
