    Storyline

    Edit
    In the depths of addiction, one short year after the 2004 Summer Olympics, substance-dependent Tsiou finds himself confronted with an unexpected and equally grave crisis. And, as desperate Tsiou combs the eerily quiet streets of sweltering, mid-August Athens to score, he unwittingly sets in motion a frenzied quest for 2 grams of heroin. But, against the backdrop of the nearly vacant capital, this is easier said than done. Now, everyone is involved in Tsiou's urgent demand. The question is, will he get what he wants in time? —Nick Riganas

    I think it's one of the most realistic portrayals of drug addiction in film. It shows how the addict is constantly chasing their next high and consumes all their time like that. Really low budget but that makes it even more fitting. The plot is nothing complicated or remarkable but that's fine. I think that you watch this film to take a peak in the characters' lives that are just the people next door. It's also nostalgic to watch in 2021 for a resident of Athens. Old slang, clothing styles etc. Really worth the watch for me but I get it may not be like that for someone that looks for an engaging plot or has too high expectations.
