Yiannis doesn’t have much going for him, save for his adorable dog, Jimi, and his fast-approaching date to get out of Cyprus for good. But when Jimi wanders across the U.N. buffer zone and into the section of the island Turkey seized more than forty years ago, an unregulated state unrecognized by the rest of the world, Yiannis learns, bringing a dog back over the border is not as easy as walking straight home. He enlists a mismatched band of accomplices from every side of the Cyprus dispute to find a way to get Jimi back, while never leaving the land he calls home. (Tribeca Film Festival)

My first Cypriot movie and so much politics. On the other hand, I would lie if I said that I would expect anything else from it. The creators did it with style and the political topic of two opposing fractions includes a story of a dog who accidentally crossed the border and his human went to look for him. It is not really a comedy as I didn’t laugh but an hour and a half flied by very fast. An exemplary European topic; the plotline was slightly naïve but a few moments definitely deserve attention. I rate it with very solid 3-stars.
