Summaries

A hard-boiled ex-cop, against the background of a pitiless and cold-blooded revenge, stands alone before the Mob, his personal demons and a grand, yet violent catharsis.

An ex cop arrives in Athens after the murder of his wife. Approached by the chief of police, he reluctantly agrees to help take down a mafia ring. Thus begins a circle of blood that becomes more and more violent as the hero goes deeper into the case. When he is asked to abandon his mission, he refuses; nothing seems able to stop the violent outburst of a man desperately looking for catharsis.—Athens International Film Festival

Esteban, a hard-boiled ex-cop, arrives in bustling Athens after losing his job. Frustrated and penniless, the middle-aged law enforcer settles in his poor uncle's house, while in the meantime, he looks hopelessly for a job; any job that would keep him afloat. Under those circumstances, hesitantly, Esteban will have no other choice but to accept an offer from the Chief of Police to decimate a profitable crime organisation that plagues the capital, knowing that, soon, he will become a target too. In the end, against the background of a pitiless and cold-blooded revenge, a man stands alone before the Mob, his personal demons and a grand, yet violent catharsis.—Nick Riganas
