Transported into the world of filmmaking, "Loafing and Camouflage" follows a group of soldiers as they navigate the enigmatic Armed Forces Television during Greece's tumultuous military dictatorship in 1967 and 1968. While this unconventional military-turned-entertainment TV station was staffed primarily by soldiers with civilian film experience, its true purpose was to amuse the troops and provide charity screenings. As bizarre as their experiences might have been, the story may only be 95% true, with the actual truth being even more absurd.
