Summaries

Restless teenagers try to find a way to break free from poverty and decide to rob a wealthy man. All of them get busted, and the nightmare begins.

A bunch of restless teenagers are constantly trying to find ways to break free from poverty. All day they hang around discos and cafeterias and talking about motorcycles, women, society, etc. Only a few of them have jobs while some others are students. One day they decide to rob a wealthy man since this seems to be their last chance to get their hands on a decent amount of cash. Everything goes fine until they come across another bunch of punks and start fightibg in the streets. All of them get busted and that's when the nightmare starts... They are taken to the prison of Korydalos where they are constantly beaten and tortured by a sadistic warden who calls himself "God" (played by the ultimate god, Nikos Tsachiridis who seems to enjoy this kind of role...). The film goes on showing the filth that they face.—Lefteris

Whiling away the time in fashionable discotheques and smoke-filled local cafés chasing women, a tight-knit band of four teenage layabouts lives like there's no tomorrow. Constantly searching for ways to make a quick buck, the reckless companions eventually grab a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to strike it rich, regardless of the grave consequences. Now, after a fateful brush with the law, the boys are about to witness firsthand the warm hospitality of a Greek youth prison, where humiliation, abuse, and detention are on the daily menu. But can there be rehabilitation through incarceration? Should we change the way our juvenile justice system operates? With this in mind, is the wild bunch beyond saving?—Nick Riganas
