The rise and fall of the Greek poet Napoleon Lapathiotis.

Inspired by a series of authentic records, the biopic is a poignant and harrowing account of the rise and fall of the Athenian bohemian and influential neo-romantic poet, Napoleon Lapathiotis (1888-1944). Against the backdrop of pivotal events and significant socio-political changes, the movie sheds light on the turbulent life of the artist, who stirred up controversy because of his sexual orientation, his communist sympathies, and his addiction to drugs.—Nick Riganas
