What an amazing movie !

A true "tour de force" by a new name in Greek cinema.

Keeps you wondering - until the end.

Also gives one a wonderful view of the seedier side of Athens. An unembellished and true depiction of personal relations between Greeks. They show interrelation between locals as well as their relations and views with immigrants.

The panoramas depicted are earthy, not showy and show life in the real sense, as well as the difficulties encountered.

At one point a taxi driver refuses to pick up a passenger because he's in a wheelchair. This scene reminded me of how cabdrivers in US cities sometimes also refuse passengers because of the way they look.

I loved this movie !
