The movie shows the relationship between a father, recently released from prison, and his teenage son, who lived in a Home for orphans and abandoned children.

The son (Dimitris) was doing alright before his father (Andreas) entered his life again. He had friends who loved him, a job and a boss who wanted to "adopt" him.

Dimitris, however, wanted to be with his father. Andreas did not quit from his old bad habits and soon Dimitris realised his abusive behaviour.

The movie was shot in a documentary style and I particularly liked the night scenes. Both actors of the main characters are excellent and every other character had a purpose for the plot. The stronger scene of the movie, in my opinion, was at the end of the movie, where father and son were fighting like dogs. It was a brief scene, yet very strong.

I would like to see more of the emotional need of Dimitris from his father. Dialogues with a lot of emotion, confrontation, emotional outbursts etc. Nevertheless, it's a good movie, enjoy!
