SYNOPSIS
Vangelis,
a remnant of the rave generation, scrapes by as a small-time weed dealer. He is
a cool, low profile person who would rather have a steady job than continue a
life in petty crime. However, his prior arrest record blocks his attempts to
join a society that rarely forgives past mistakes. When his neighbours threaten
to call the cops on him, his life changes overnight. He is forced to leave his
apartment and take refuge at his sister's house where he comes under the
protection of her boyfriend, Petros, a bouncer with strong ties to the local
underworld. Petros offers Vangelis a way out, by involving him in various crime
deals, which would offer him easy money and respect in the underworld. Only
problem is Vangelis doesn't want to be part this world. The film is inspired by
true events.

A FEW WORDS ABOUT THE DIRECTOR
Fokion
Bogris (birth name: Eleftherios Ktistakis) was born in Athens, in 1979. He
became fascinated with cinema at pre-school age. Studied communications. As a
self-taught filmmaker, he started making his first home-made video movies
around 2002. His first independent feature titled “Catharsis”, a near-parody of
the revenge film subgenre, was released in 2009. Right afterwards, he decided
to restart from zero, so he made “Family Tree” a short film about domestic
violence which won him the “Best Newcomer Director” award at the 35th
International Short Film Festival of Drama. It was followed by “The Second
Man”, a short about a filmmaker’s self-destructive love affair, starring the
late director Nicholas Triantafyllidis in a semi-autobiographical part. He has
also made documentaries for national Greek television as well as music videos.
Likes to get involved in various parts of the filmmaking process, from
camerawork to editing.
