The Ogre of Athens
"The most biting, the most daring social satire"
On New Year’s Eve, a timid bank clerk is mistaken for a notorious criminal mastermind who rules the streets of Athens. Embracing his mistaken identity comes with a price though, as his unwitting white lie begins to unravel.
Directed by Nikos Koundouros
Written by Iakovos Kabanellis
