Drama

Dimitris, a grumpy middle-aged man, is having a hard time with his business partner on a particular decision as to opening a new business; and he's also having a hell of a time with his family members. He has a really short temper, and the unpleasant behaviour of his nasty wife and his disrespectful children don't contribute much to his health.

VIBE

A suffocating atmosphere of simmering rage and familial discord. This film feels like a pressure cooker, with every interaction amplifying the tension. It's a raw, unflinching look at domestic strife that leaves you feeling heavy.
