Elisabeth is police chief of the Greek coastal town of Mesolongi. When she speaks, it sounds like angry barking. She drinks too much, constantly swears and is sleeping with a married doctor. Her transfer from Athens to this small fishing village ten years ago still rankles with her. Her adolescent son Dimitris is all too familiar with his mother’s moods. If she overdoes it after a shared dinner in a bar, he goes home. Rita comes from Mesolongi and works in a factory; her brother is something of a local celebrity. He sometimes makes her join him on stage during his club appearances. Rita is also deeply dissatisfied. But then a death tears apart the already fragile network of relationships between the villagers, revealing an even more damaged structure beneath. (Berlinale)

Anyone who is expecting a thriller with a tasty storyline to take off, or the appealing strangeness of the Greek "Weird Wave", will be disappointed. In fact, in the end, you will be struck by the fact that the storyline of this relatively lengthy movie was so unsophisticated and conventional, and you will be surprised at the padding out that substituted a lack of narrative construction in a 121-minute movie.
