Once on the brink of destruction, and even, death, the former drug-addict, social pariah, and now a rehabilitated car mechanic, Yorgos, recounts the events that led to his rapid downfall, and the untimely demise of a dear friend. Yearning to have a slice of the good life without breaking a sweat, Yorgos and his band of equally troubled friends--Loukas, Fanis, and the teenage runaway girl, Athina--summon up the courage to organise a street robbery in broad daylight. However, fate has other plans in store for the brazen trio of ne'er-do-wells. Can there be forgiveness for the dangerous Athenian jackals? —Nick Riganas

The Greek 80's on your screen!

Words are meaningless if you are about to describe this movie.The corruption of the Greek teenagers,in your screen!See how life was in the 80's,the fast motorcycles,the fantastic Discotheque-Jacky.O... The Plot:Giorgos (Panos Mixalopoulos) is the classic bad boy.He likes motorcycles,discos,pretty girls and stuff.He meets his friends at the disco,and sometimes at his friend's house,a foreign girl named Ursula Van Hoven.His friend,Fanis (Stamatis Gardelis) ,meets a girl from the country,who ran out from home because of her parents.Her name is Athina(Sofia Aliberti).Giorgos also meets one day at the disco a girl called Eleni (Athina Tsilira).One day,his naughty friend Loukas (Giorgos Rigas),says to him that he has a good idea.The idea is to rob Giorgos' father,who works in a bank,take the money and run!Can you just think of the rest?... The first part of the trilogy of Giannis Dalianidis,(Ta Tsakalia,I Strofi,Oi Epikindynoi),will stick you on screen!The best cult movie ever!
