Two teenagers, a trolley ticket controller, a couple separating. Everyday, cross-cutting stories in an Athens with constant power outages.

Tungsten deals with the idea of electricity as a metaphor, the scenery is urban, and the plot is unfolded during a single day. One day in Athens, continuous outages, and a final blackout, caused by the strike of technicians at the electricity company. A day during which, six people's lives are being crossed and diverted. The heroes wander around the city, and as the day passes by and the darkness prevails, the scenery becomes more and more threatening. The heroes will experience intense discomfort while crossing each others path. When this strain is absorbed they are turned into victims, when the strain is channeled they are turned into perpetrators.—Anonymous

Against the backdrop of profound and long-lasting socio-economic crisis, and recurring power outages, the lives of six perfect strangers become inextricably intertwined. Under those circumstances, as a desperate and financially hard-pressed ticket inspector starts yet another tedious day, a fateful encounter with a young stowaway will set in motion a series of wrong choices, and equally dangerous decisions, in the heart of summer Athens' unseen ugly face. But, violence begets violence, and as hopeless frustration and bitter disappointment start to get the best of the wounded Athenian anti-heroes, their fears and the gaping holes in their lives begin to emerge. And guns are always the worst advisers. Is there an escape from the clutches of merciless fate?—Nick Riganas
