[Η ΜΠΑΛΑΝΤΑ ΤΗΣ ΤΡΥΠΙΑΣ ΚΑΡΔΙΑΣ] [I MPALANTA TIS TRYPIAS KARDIAS]

U.S. Premiere.

Set against the backdrop of the economic crisis and a rundown club scene in small-town Greece, Yannis Economides' (KNIFER, MATCHBOX, SOUL KICKING, STRATOS) wickedly funny — and deliciously dark — gangster comedy expertly portrays a cast of characters on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Having had enough of her stuffy businessman husband Iraklis (Yannis Tsortekis, STRATOS, SUNTAN), Olga (Vicky Papadopoulou, SMUGGLING HENDRIX, STRATOS) elopes with pop singer-turned-nightclub-owner Manos (Vassilis Bisbikis, DIGGER) — but not without first pocketing a million of Iraklis' secretly stashed euros. Feeling that his honor has been violated, Iraklis contacts the local mafia to help him get his cash back and dispense with the lovers. But when Olga decides to return the money — and return to her husband — Manos determines he must now vow revenge and find a way to keep the money for himself. As the bodies and double-crosses pile up, Olga's infidelity triggers a fatal domino effect in the local crime world. Channeling the Coen brothers by way of Corneliu Porumboiu, Economides crafts a darkly funny tale full of explicit dialogue, laconic images and sudden outbursts of violence.
