The Cinematheque

Young Dimitris (Dimitris Kitsos), on the verge of manhood but in many ways still a child, has always romanticized his absent father. When his father is released from prison, Dimitris’s dream of happiness is more intense than ever, but the reality of the reunion will turn out to be much different from his expectations. When the two reunite, their relationship is anything but healthy. Behind his father’s ideas about how to connect with his son is a plot that verges on exploitation, as Dimitris is involved in some very dodgy and dubious activities on the Turkish side of Nicosia. Trapped between an unreliable, suspicious father and a family that says they want to adopt him, Dimitris faces a profound and difficult dilemma. What will he choose?
