Angelos Raptis, perhaps the best general surgeon in Greece, is a recognized scientist in a happy marriage to lawyer Iro Anagnostopoulou, with whom they have a brilliant daughter, Melina. The countdown begins on the night of his birthday, on duty, when he is brought dead, from a car accident, his wife and daughter, who were helpless on the road for many hours. Angelos loses everything in one night: his family and his faith. This leads him to deny reality but also life.

A lavish mansion hosts a grand reception attended by ambassadors, ministers, the police chief, a techno-detective, a mercenary, and two wandering beauties. A mysterious painting by Rembrandt piques the interest of some of the guests, with the host of the evening, Mr. Malaparte, hiding a priceless artistic treasure inside his home... Or maybe not?

Eleven-year-old Semele unexpectedly arrives at her father's worksite in Cyprus with a note from school that needs to be signed. This is an astutely observed, ultimately heart-rending story about a youngster whose fierce longing to be noticed is matched only by her determination to make it happen.

Hope lives with her husband on the mountain, and all summer makes charcoal in a kiln in the heart of the forest.

Athens, today. Seventeen-year-old Aria, who is working at Jimmy’s local kebab place is waiting for a driving lesson with her father. When he finally arrives, it is not to go for a drive; on the contrary, he confides in her the care of a young Chinese immigrant who speaks neither Greek nor English. DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT A film, for me, is a collection of moments, which fall into place to create a whole. Sounds, looks, movements, the colors of Athens today tell the story of Aria, Lu and Petros. Image by image, I await the moment that I merge with them through their journey, just as they merge into mine—together accepting that our freedom exists in merely an instant.

Greece. Sometime in the near future. A seaside resort struck by a heavy heat wave. Water is rare and violence is mounting. Ashraf, a solitary immigrant, is looking after a villa while its owners are away. On a dusty road crushed by the sun, he is stopped by a police officer for an identity check.

第55届柏林国际电影节参展影片。本片根据真人真事改编。 一辆巴士在希腊北部被劫持，车上乘客的生命安全已遭到威胁，本片《人质》通过一位劫持巴士的阿尔巴尼亚年轻人与7名乘客之间的关系，探讨了敏感的希腊与阿尔巴尼亚两国的关系，劫匪向警察提出100万欧元的赎金以及安全通道，这场劫持事件已经不是单纯劫持巴士那么简单了。 只是就绑匪的犯罪起因、动机、思想活动，以及遭绑架人质的背景与心理作了艺术性的再现虚构和更为深入的刻画。因此注明“纯属虚构”。 作为一部“政治电影”，本片并没有像好莱坞处理同类型题材电影一样，追求扣人心弦的情节节奏，打造一位无所不能的超级英雄，来拯救人质。 相反，影片赋予了绑匪更多的理解与同情。他曾是一位阿尔巴尼亚好青年，因为家境贫寒，被迫与相爱的未婚妻解除婚约。为了改变命运，他来到希腊打工，却屡受歧视，甚至遭警察毒打，撕毁了身份证明。走投无路的他被迫劫持公共汽车，只是希望拿到应有的报酬顺利回家。他将汽车上所有的老人都放了，只留下七名年轻的希腊人作为人质。随着相互的沟通与了解，人质们对他都抱有善意与同情，真心地助他拿到赎金返回家乡。然而最终，他在与警方找来的母亲对话时，被狙击手一枪击毙。 虽说是罪有应得，也令我心生同情。

At the time of the Greek junta, in an isolated army camp, a lieutenant forces a soldier to teach him the tango in order to ask the wife of his Colonel to dance with him.
