Andy, a hard working Cypriot immigrant in London who deep-fries his way into oblivion, decides to leave London for his native Cyprus. Having slaved away for others his entire life, he finally opens his very own chip shop. But his dream turns into a nightmare, as he seems to have overlooked one small detail: Cyprus just isn't London!

A story of five teenagers (1 gay, 1 closeted bisexual) who are setting up an armed gang: a drug fuelled sexually charged mosaic of love, lost relationships, betrayal and nihilism, that takes place in a declining city, where everything is collapsing within the economic and social crisis.
Constantine Yiannaris, one of the greatest directors of contemporary Greek cinema, returns with another explosive film about Athens today, deservedly winning the Audience Award at the Film Festival of Thessaloniki. Five teenagers are driven to the police interrogation room and tell the same story: how they reached the crime. But it is the same story? As we watch the different (and sometimes contradictory) versions of events we see unfolding before us, full of suspense, mosaic teenage love, impulse and thirst for freedom. As members of a gang, the young heroes get a first taste of life as adults and are intoxicated by what he has to offer them, without considering the destruction sow around them. And beyond the limits, entrained by the vortex of developments.

《缺席》融合黑白和彩色、真人和动画以及其它一些元素。片中的女人、在精神病收容所里的女画家“EH”（艾玛•豪科），反复地用断裂的铅笔芯给自己的丈夫写着信，在她的窗外，一束持续变化着的光表现着她的精神情绪。配合着这在棱镜般的镜子之间反射的光的，是时有时无的宛如从脑海中传出的女人的悲凄的尖叫——全片几乎没有出现过女主角的正脸，以体现一种匿名性，同时通过其它手法来模拟出她脑中的镜像。
值得一提的是，为本片配乐《一对》（指女人和看不见的丈夫是一对）的作曲家施托克豪斯（Stockhausen Karlheinz）在配乐的过程中哭了，因为这部片子让他想起了自己在二战期间被纳粹抓走的母亲。
