While the film is about a heist gone wrong, it\u2019s a heck of a lot more than that. The movie references\u00a0Hamlet<\/i>\u00a0and various other plays, while focusing on a wannabe method actor whose life flips upside down after the botched heist. it also has a knockout performance by its lead,\u00a0Yiannis Niarros<\/span>, who stars as Luca.<\/p>\n

The film has its share of offbeat elements, including the opening minutes. Luca waves a fake gun in the air, practicing one of the many monologues he recites throughout the film. Because the actor looks right into the camera, it\u2019s a bit of a mind-bending opening. It\u2019s hard to ascertain if Luca is crazy or not, until he breaks the character. After that attention-grabber, the film pushes the narrative along with some high stakes. Luca is offered a scholarship to study method acting in New York City. However, the travel expenses from Greece are on him. Luca works a blue-collar job and can\u2019t afford it. Reluctantly, he agrees to go along with a heist that his brother, Alekos (Kostas Nikouli<\/span>), orchestrates. It goes horribly wrong from the get-go and Luca ends up shooting an innocent man,\u00a0Ilias (Alexandros Chrysanthopoulos<\/span>), though he doesn\u2019t die and Luca, plagued with guilt, visits him in the hospital and befriends him.<\/p>\n

This feature has a lot of interwoven narratives, though somehow, Tsonis makes them all work.<\/p>\n
