Kostas Antalopoulos

Johannes has a comfortable life and stands to inherit the family-run hotel. Unfortunately, however, he is an inveterate people-pleaser and avoids conflict at any cost. His father’s last will and testament sparks a tragi-comic journey to sunny Greece – and the realisation that it is time to take control of his own life.

En los albores de un desastre, Aliki y su marido Petros llevan a su hijo Panagiotis a un pueblo provincial de la costa en busca de refugio. Allí, ambos encuentran trabajos temporales con los que intentan sobrevivir ante la esperanza de volver a su hogar en Atenas. Sin embargo, el tiempo pasa y su plan parece cada vez más inviable, lo que produce una separación entre los dos padres.

A random explosion connects three stories, where strangers are trying to find some way to live on the edge of legality.

Revenge is a recurrent theme in thrillers, usually dispensed by action heroes with a well-stocked arsenal. But in Yorgos Tsemberopoulos’s nuanced moral maze the protagonist is the bookish Kostas (Manolis Mavromatakis), a suburban florist well versed in social and political theory, which he discusses at length with a local publican. But when his home is invaded by masked hoodlums, who bind his family and rape his teenage daughter, our everyman hero finds his intellectual stance untenable. Encouraged by his paranoid, militarist neighbour, Kostas decides to take the law into his own hands, and in doing so begins to understand – for the first time – the world he has been living in. The vigilante movie is a well-explored genre too, but Tsemberopoulos gives it a whole new urgency, subverting the cliched right-wing fantasy structure and seeing it through the eyes of a man who comes to find his real self while trying to live up to the (imagined) expectations of others.
