Film Summary
Nikos Grammatikos' drama The King is about a bad man trying to turn his life around. Vangelis gets out of prison, has a brief reunion with his girlfriend Maria, and declares to his former partners that he is done with crime. He sets out for a small village to live in his grandfather's house. Once he arrives, the town is suspicious of the stranger. Eventually police officer Petros befriends the man. As his fortunes start to improve, Maria and his old cronies arrive and bring about Vangelis' naturally self-destructive tendencies. The King was screened at the Thessaloniki Film Festival and won all the major prizes (Best Feature Film, Best Actor, Best Scenography and Sound).
