It is a masterpiece.Despite all the borders physical,emotional that have been created by nationalism and ignorance for centuries communication revolutionize the way we feel and think of the OTHER.
At the time the film was released, there wasn't internet and the broader net world. Even to day, Angelopoulos is unfamiliar with all that. About the particular scene, as the film was about homelands and inner exile, with this scene, i think, he tries to show that some people can move anymore just up or down as both back and forth are closed.
But graceful scenes always are able to embrace all times and all meanings.
Even tough they draw frontier lines, the communication revolution creates unseparable links between nations...The final sequence with workers connecting those cables is a metaphore to underline this fact by genious cinema poet Angelopoulos...
