Ce film a pour titre un slogan qui a fait le tour de la Grèce en crise depuis 2010 et qui commence à voyager au-delà : « Ne vivons plus comme des esclaves », qui se prononce « Na min zisoumé san douli » en grec. Un slogan qu'on peut lire en Grèce sur les murs des villes et sur les rochers des campagnes, sur les panneaux publicitaires vides ou détournés, dans les journaux alternatifs et qu'on peut entendre sur certaines stations de radio et dans les lieux d’autogestion qui se multiplient. Un slogan diffusé jour après jour, et que les intervenants grecs du film invitent les spectateurs à reprendre en chœur, sur les mélodies du film réalisé en coopération avec eux.
