Plot

After his release from prison, Stathis visits a private investigator, Othonas, whom he had assigned many years ago to find his mother, who has been missing from the time of the German Occupation. When he meets Othonas, however, they quarrel because the detective hadn’t worked seriously enough on the case.

Sinekatalog’s take

A Greek crime drama in which a freed convict pursues the truth about his mother, missing since the occupation. Taut and gloomy, it will interest fans of mid-century noir with a historical shadow.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
